DIY The Ultimate Ghostbusters Costume

It doesn’t take much to pull off the iconic ghostbusters costume: All you need is a jumpsuit, combat boots, and random paraphernalia from around the house.

With some tape and glue you’ll completely change the look for the night and get some cool boots for everyday after.
