Question: What's Your Best Homemade Costume Idea?

Sometimes the best last-minute Halloween costume is one put together using things you already have.

This weekend kicks off the start of Halloween celebrations in Hauppauge with parties for everyone from small children to costume contests for adults. It's finally time to dress up and show off your costume.

It's a problem if you don't have a costume. We've given you five places to buy a last-minute costume but what if you haven't had time to go shopping, or can't justify spending $30 on a costume you only plan to wear to one party.

Sometimes your child wants to be Mickey Mouse or their favorite animal. Where do you find a costume for that?
