Absolutely! Start with a “magical mood board” on paper or a phone—pick a few key colors and textures, then hunt those items at thrift stores or online sales. Swap a real cape for a bright, recycled scarf, or use glitter glue on a plain dress for sparkle. For accessories, DIY with beads, ribbon, and feathers—just a few extra details can make a costume pop. Keep a list of the essential pieces you truly love, then find clever, low‑cost alternatives for the rest. And remember, the best magic is in the story you tell, not the price tag.
