Surprisingly, the costume character buntings can be quite pricey – more so than the standard two-piece variety. Many of these can be assembled yourself by picking up a few things at the store or using tidbits from around the house – and remember, it doesn’t have to be perfect; it just has to be fun.
If, after reviewing the suggestions mentioned above, you still haven’t found that special costume for your little one, consult your local party store representative. They’re full of wonderful ideas, and are often able to supply you with everything you need to provide you with just what you had in mind.
