15 Homemade Halloween Costumes That Are Way Better Than Store-Bought Ones

Halloween is right around the corner, and if you’re like me, you haven’t even begun to think about your costume yet. And let’s be honest: we probably won’t start thinking about our costume until noon of the 31st at the very earliest. At that point, we’ll be forced to either pay through the nose for a store-bought costume, or we’ll throw something together using whatever’s available. Which is how I came up with my worst ever Halloween costume, “Guy in a Polo shirt.”

This year, let’s break the cycle! There’s still time to put together a costume that will be remembered for years. And below, you can get some inspiration from people who went all out on All Hallow’s Eve. (via Bored Panda).

I mean, all of us will definitely still procrastinate on our costumes again this year, but it’s nice to feel ambitious for a few minutes, isn’t it?

There’s a Vincent Van Gogh Action Figure That Comes with Removable Ears

Vincent Van Gogh’s life story, the tribulations, the mental illness, and especially the story of him cutting off part of his own ear, continues to fascinate art lovers all over the world.

That’s why this Van Gogh action figure is so amazing! Today is Art Day launched a Kickstarter campaign back in 2017 to help fund the Van Gogh figure, and now they are readily available for the public to buy. Yay, Kickstarter!

The figure comes with not one, but two, detachable ears.

It may not be historically accurate, but hey, we’re allowed to have a little fun once in a while, aren’t we?

The figure comes in a box decorated with replicas of Van Gogh’s famous paintings, Sunflowers and The Starry Night. Lil’ Vincent is made of PVC and stands five inches tall.

Today is Art Day has branched out and now produces a bunch of other amazing action figures in addition to Van Gogh.

After cutting off his ear, Vincent van…

After cutting off his ear, Vincent van Gogh painted a portrait of the doctor who treated him, then gave it to the doctor. The doctor hated it and used it to repair a chicken coop before giving it away. It’s now worth $50 million. 00
