Halloween is always filled with the same cliche costumes. There are tons and tons of skeletons, princesses, witches, and football players. Let's step up our game a little bit and come up with some more creative Halloween costumes. Growing up, most of our (my brothers and my) costumes were homemade. Still today, my costumes are DIY.

Here are 5 fairly easy DIY costumes that just scream South Jersey for kids, adults, couples, and groups.

    Deck of Cards

    This costume is great for kids and adults, plus it's great if you want to do a group/couple costume. There are a few ways you can make a deck of cards, this one was made by two kids and is super easy. This costume is perfect for girls, both kids and adults. If you really wanted to go the extra mile, you could follow the directions used for the pork roll costume and add the appropriate details to make a poker chip costume.
