Green crafting and costume making
Wednesday, October 29th, 2008Whether the handmade costumes are already complete or you’re expecting to stay up until 2 am on the morning of Halloween completing that very last stitch (perhaps THIS has become a tradition in and of itself) – the site Crafting in a Green World (blog) may be of interest to you.
Check out their Halloween suggestions here.
Still have no idea what to make? Try these resources for a bit of inspiration (just swap their suggested materials for “green” ones, whenever possible).

Pack-o-Fun magazine’s Halloween edition
No sew Halloween costumes (this one’s for me!)
If you’re looking for used and low-cost components (or complete costumes) for this year, check out Yelp.com to find thrift and consignment stores near you.
(A recent survey by Savers, Inc found that wearing eco-friendly costumes is important to about half of all consumers. Are you one of them? Find out more here.)
