DIY: Vampire Costume ...

So as I am continuing to share some of our DIY Halloween Costumes from the past, here is my little Count Dracula, or Vampire DIY Costume my little Ezra wore two years ago, 2013!

The scary make up is just classic.  I wouldn't let him go too crazy on the blood drips, but we did add a little, and the cheap plastic vampire teeth completed the look!

Here's a few tips to put together a DIY Vampire Costume: (affiliate links used)

• Black Pants
• White Collared Shirt
• Red Ribbon Tied into a Bow
• Black Vest-  I found this black vest from a thrift store, then I swiped out the buttons for these fancy gold ones and sewed those on.  Actually this vest was from our DIY pirate costume the year before, it worked perfect!
• Black Shoes
• Black Cape-  I found this cape on Halloween clearance for a few bucks and kept it in our Halloween box.  It came in handy when Ezra said he wanted to be a vampire.
• White Face Make up.
• Black eyeliner for eyebrows.
• Red lipstick for blood drips.
• Cheap plastic Vampire teeth.

And, there you have it!  A quick and easy DIY Vampire costume!  I'd suggest always checking out your local thrift store for key pieces, it's always cheaper and the costume can come together quickly if you just find the key components like pants, vest, and cape!

Happy DIY'ing!
