With the economy poised on the brink of a new recession, many are looking for ways to save on Halloween costumes, opting for do-it-yourself instead of paying steep prices from retailers.

Here are the top 20 most popular Halloween costume ideas for 2011, according to Yahoo search records, and how you can make them yourself.
