Yesterday, while looking through a family album, I spotted some pictures of homemade Purim costumes I have made over the years. I don’t particularly like store-bought costumes, so over the years I have gathered many original Purim costume ideas to dress up my kids. Homemade costumes are cheaper, more versatile, and more fun than the run-of-the-mill offerings available for sale. None of these costumes require any sewing, so you can make them yourself from items you already have at home. Now that’s something even moms can enjoy.
Shulchan Arukh or Purim seuda
Here is an original costume idea. Start with a disposable tablecloth. Cut an opening for the head in the middle. Using a stapler or a glue gun attach disposable dishes, napkins, and silverware (preferably colorful).
