| Supply | Why you need it | | :--- | :--- | | | No sewing—just cut and safety pin. | | Cardboard boxes | Free armor, signs, and machines. | | Face paint crayons | Easier than liquid paint. | | Velcro dots | Attach anything temporarily. | | Old bedsheet | Ghosts, togas, or painting drop cloth. | The #1 Rule of DIY Couple Costumes Don’t be a perfectionist.
