Whether it’s a theme birthday party, Halloween, or any other occasion, every once in a while you might find yourself racking your brain, trying to come up with an idea for a costume; which often proves to be a task more difficult than expected.

One of the reasons for that is the fact that elaborate costumes can get pretty costly. But with or without a big budget set aside for the mission, one has to be quite creative in order to figure out what they want to be and how best to achieve the look.

Some people are capable of showing that a big budget is not necessary when you have imagination. Renowned for their elaborate, yet affordable costumes, Anucha Saengchart—going online by the moniker Lonelyman or The Low Cost Cosplay Guy—proves that one does not require using a lot of fancy materials or expensive items to create something impressive; you can make do with things you have lying around the house.

On the list below, you will find the best of Anucha’s costumes, all made with household objects, as well as Bored Panda’s interview with the creative costume genius themself. Moreover, we also discussed costume design with an expert in the field, former lecturer in theater at Williams College in Massachusetts, Deborah Brothers, who was kind enough to answer a few of our questions; so what are you waiting for? Scroll down and get inspired for your next costume party!
