Glow in the Dark Homemade Halloween Costumes

A great halloween costume idea is the Glow in the Dark Halloween costume! This is a really fun costume as most Halloween events happen in the dark so this is the perfect costume! Whether you're trick-or-treating or heading to a nightclub the Glow In The Dark costume will make you seen. Plus, everyone loves a good glow in the dark stick so why not take it a step further!

Homemade Glow In The Dark Costume
The homemade glow in the dark costume is actually rather simple to put together. You simply need to find yourself black pants, shirt, socks, shoes and hat (Balaclava or ski mask). You will also need fabric glue and between 16-40 glow sticks depending on the thickness and length of each glowstick. Of course, you can always glue more glow sticks on your costume to make an even brighter costume!

You then glue each glowstick to your clothing in whatever shape/style you want. We recommend choosing the most common "male" and "female" stick figures as the glowstick patterns. That way everyone knows if you're a guy or a girl and it's a fairly basic design. Right before going out trick-or-treating or heading to the club you will 'snap' all the glowsticks to activate the costume. Depending on the glowstick you will have approximately 4-12 hours of glow time.

Alternatively, you can purchase the Glow In The Dark costume which operates on batteries rather than glow sticks. This is good if you are planning to attend more than 1 nights worth of parties!
