Making homemade Halloween costumes might seem like a task for a sewing expert, but Super-Simple Creative Costumes proves otherwise! This book includes instructions for dozens of costumes, props, and accessories that you can make with little to no sewing. The majority of these projects get their sturdiness from fusible interfacing in varying weights. With fusible interfacing, you can create a stand-out costume with just a pair of scissors and an iron!

Each of the costumes in Super-Simple Creative Costumes is divided into the style of costume component, including categories like "round sandwich board style" and "eyeglasses." This allows you to envision each of the tutorials as a base of framework from which you can create all kinds of different costumes. Of course, each tutorial also includes a photo and instructions for creating a specific costume component, such as a pointy clown hat or dragonfly wings. It's up to you whether you want to make the projects shown in the book or get creative with new variations! If you do decide to "go by the book," Super-Simple Creative Costumes includes tear-out templates needed to create the projects shown.
