Halloween 101: Renaissance Costumes That Won't Break the Bank

Inspired by the whacknuts price of this Renaissance Princess Costume, I brainstormed some alternative Halloween costumes for our budget-conscious readers:

PLAGUE VICTIM

Use face paint or bubble wrap to create blisters and boils. Red marker on white clothing=easy, convincing blood vomit.

BARBER/SURGEON

Another use for the red marker! Scissors in one hand; switchblade or kitchen knife in the other.

MIDWIFE

Turn a regular stool or small chair into a "birthing stool." Bring out that red marker again, and mix it with some glue. Voila! Birth goop.

SCULLERY MAID

Wrap head in white t-shirt and grab two beers. Large, dowdy skirt is optional.
