It’s downright spooky how close we are to October 31st. Not to worry; we’ve got some very creative and easy costume ideas that won’t cost you an arm and a leg. You will need a bit of imagination, some printing equipment (or great connections in the printing industry), and a Next Level Apparel (asi/73867) Tshirt. We’ll keep this one short so you and your clients can get right down to the fun of making DIY Halloween costumes that are sure to put a smile on everyone”s faces … and maybe even win the best costume prize at the party! NLA is “Ready to Inspire” so they were happy to share their creative ideas with us for inspiration.
PacMan
This one’s going to require a team of five besties to get the idea across, but imagine how much fun you’ll have traveling in a pack (no pun intended)! NLA’s T-Shirt in Cotton Unisex (3600) is preferred by printers for discharge, DTG (direct-to-garment) printing, heat transfer and screen printing and it’s made from 100% ring-spun cotton. Banana Cream is the perfect color for the leader of the pack, our “PacMan”, with the addition of a black dot for the eye and black triangle for the mouth. The rest of team will complete this look by wearing Light Pink and Red, Turquoise and Classic Orange. All you have to do to finish the look is to add wide eyes and cut a jagged edge at bottom. Pro Tip: It’s recommended to wear a couple of sizes larger than your normal size for a fun, playful look.
