Art Inspired Costumes You Can Make


Looking for inspiration for a costume? Below are twelve (in no particular order) creative, art inspired costumes. Some are quick and easy to make with items you have laying around your house, or can purchase for cheap at your local thrift store.

You could actually pull these together at the last minute as there is little to no sewing involved. Being historically accurate is not as important as creativity. Just imagine all the oohs and aahs you'll get.

1. Mona Lisa by Leonardo Da Vinci 

2. Girl with the Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer
