Last year a Halloween costume for my son did not cost much, and as a matter of fact it earned us $200 – my son was the winner of his school competition. We took a cardboard box, glued to it some black paper ~$2 and cut out holes on top / bottom and sides. Next step was to find and print iPhone icons – thanks to omnipotent Google and HP printer that was not too expensive. On the back of the costume we glued a pumpkin post card with apple-style cut out (the card was about $2 as well). The most expensive element of the costume was the glue – we used 3M spray on glue. That was actually well worth the $16 as we had no mess in the house and were able to put the costume together in less than 3 hrs – not bad for a 7 year old and all-thumbs dad.
