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 only need to have a little imagination and a T-shirt from ASI supplier Next Level Apparel. 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 made of 100% cotton (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 the team can complete the look by wearing Light Pink and Red, Turquoise and Classic Orange. All you have to do is 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.

Firefighter & Dalmatian:
Here’s a playful idea for couples or a pair of pals – plus it’s a good excuse to buy that firefighter’s helmet you’ve always dreamed about!
Let’s start with the Dalmatian. Style Unisex Cotton Long-Body T-Shirt (3602) You will be able to do the trick (and most likely get the treats) in white with printed black dots. To get the best look, size up a few. Accessorize with white socks with black felt spots, cute floppy ears made of a plastic headband and some glue from a craft store.
For the firefighter, we recommend NLA’s Unisex CVC T-Shirt (6210) In black, made from 60% combed cotton ring-spun cotton, paired perfectly with the super comfortable Unisex Fleece Sweatpants (9803) Black. Add red suspenders to your look and that iconic red helmet, and you might be called upon to light some candles on Halloween night.
