Under $5 Halloween Costumes

First off, I can not sew if my life depended on it, but here is the good news for people like me! You can still buy cheap costume accessories and match it up with clothing from your child’s closet. You just need to be a little creative.  You do not have to spend $25-75 on Halloween costumes for your children. This week I took a trip to my local Dollarama and put together some cool costume accessories and provided tips on how to enhance the costume on your own. Please note, that some accessories were not found in the Halloween costume aisle. I have listed which items those are. All Dollaramas have a different stock available which means your closest location may not have everything I suggest below.
