2. Since 75%* of the party have shop bought costumes, and most shop bought costumes are TERRIBLE, you're costume is going to look amazing in comparison. I mean how many crap witches will you be up against?!

3. The WORLD is your costume oyster! If you want to go out dressed as a cheque book, you can do it. A biscuit? No bother. A map of the world, absolutely! Think outside the box and you're already halfway to winning.

4. Anything is actually possible. You can combine sewing skills with papier mache and tin foil, maybe you'll even embroider some parts. Are you wondering how? Let me tell you how I made my favourite bacon and egg costume.

The story here is I actually had a mermaid costume until my friend who lived in London at the time announced she was coming up and was up for coming out for Halloween. So after a few texts back and forward I had offered my skills to make two ridiculous costumes.

5. If all else fails and you run out of time to make a costume, remember all you need is a white sheet with two eye holes and you are STILL better than a shop bought witch!
