How to Make a Halloween Gypsy Costume

Make a Gypsy Halloween Costume

gypsy costumesLooking for a quick & easy homemade Halloween costume?  Be a gypsy!  This homemade costume is easy on your budget and is made with lots of clothing and accessories you already have around the house!

Lots of scarves is the trick here. A long skirt, a scarf covering the head, and tons of big jewelry will make anyone think you’re a gypsy. The jewelry really brings the gypsy costume together, so gather as much as you can from your own jewelry box, flea markets, or borrow from friends. Wear strands of beads around your neck, large hoop earrings and many bangle bracelets, like those seen here, and rings. For a nice gypsy touch, carry a tambourine.

Add a crystal ball made from a Styrofoam ball covered in glitter and tell everyone their fortune!

To create homemade gypsy costume for Halloween, try looking around your home for some of these:

  • Long tired skirt in a bright color.
  • Bracelets like the bangle bracelets shown at left.
  • Gypsy style shirt – gathered scooped neck, puffy sleeves gathered at the wrist or long wide flowing sleeves
  • Brightly colored front-laced vest
  • Black leotard stockings
  • Black shoes
  • Brightly colored sash for the waist

Here are just a few ideas to get your creative juices flowing! Looking for a Gypsy Costume? Just enter a phrase like “child gypsy” and you’ll see what’s available.
