Overview

Any Halloween aficionado will tell you: props are the key to an outstanding costume. We define a prop as something you hold that adds a “wow” factor to your costume. If you hold it, it’s eligible for the Halloween Props Contest.

We’re giving away some fabulous prizes to the winners of this contest, including an Oculus Rift, a 360fly 4k resolution camera, Bluetooth speakers, and more! Perhaps best of all, every winner will receive a limited edition Instructables Halloween T-shirt.

Can’t wait to see what you come up with and give you “props” for your props!
