Top 3 DIY Halloween Costume Vids on Youtube

The one cool thing about the crappy economy is that the average person is forced to get creative! There has been a resurgence of the hand-made arts in the last few years which can bee seen through the multitudes of “Do it Yourself” videos on Youtube. Halloween has always been the ultimate DIY occasion, but this year’s videos seem to be pushing the limits on creativity and resourcefulness than ever before. Here are 3 of the coolest homemade halloween costume videos for 2009.

Petrilude shows us how to apply cosmetics to get a realistic zipper-face zombie look. Once you’ve mastered the basics, you can apply the zippers to any part of your body! Then watch Gryphern make large dragon wings that are controlled with your body movements. These are perfect costumes for college students or anyone who needs the extra-cool factor in their costume this year. Finally, check out GiannyL’s insanely resourceful Cat Woman costume made out of a T-shirt and a few things you probably have at home. This would make an ultra easy halloween costume for teens and women.
