High-Tech DIY Halloween Costumes

A great Halloween costume doesn’t have to come from a traditional Halloween costume store or website. In fact, dare we say, those costumes can be rather boring and predictable. This year, instead of the go-to pirate costume – of the Jack Sparrow variety for the guys and the sexy version for the ladies - why not try your hand at DIY costuming? Your costume will be original, one of a kind and sure to stand out from the crowd at your next Halloween party.

Naturally, with our passion for welding, the DIY costumes of our choice involve a little more ingenuity. Here's a list of high-tech do-it-yourself costume ideas that incorporate welding, fiber optics, LEDs and more.

*Tin Man - We had to go there! Who doesn't love Dorothy's squeaky friend without a heart? Make this costume truly original by creating your own welded masterpiece.

*Ghostbuster – Forget the store bought suit, instead add a proton pack with flashing control lights and power indicators.

*Lady Gaga – Your wild costume options are limitless, but the best piece of your look will be dual-screen video glasses. All you need are two digital-picture-frame key chains, a slideshow and black sunglasses.

*Fiber optic Fairy Wings – This costume isn’t for your average Tinker Bell. Today’s high-tech fairy needs more digital dazzling than your everyday wand and fairy dust. Add a few battery-powered LED’s and she’ll have wings that glow.

*Halo Armor - Cybernetically-enhanced super soldier, anyone? Weld together some spare parts to create an awesome Master Chief gun and uniform.

Whatever costume you decide on this Halloween, elevate it to the next level with some tech innovation and welding work for a totally unique look. Find all the welding supplies you need at USWelddingSupply.com.
