Known as emo_extremo on Instagram [1], California native Sydney Presley knows a thing or two about DIY [2], and her amazingly relatable Halloween [3] costumes are proof.

"I'm a B on a budget and a cheapskate, so that's part of why I make my own costumes every year," she told BuzzFeed News after a tweet of her past looks went viral in 2016 [4].

But even on a budget, we're not sure we could even come close to such masterful re-creations of Mexican culture's finer things [5]. From snack-time favorites like Takis and Tajín to a life-size La Lotería card, see all of Sydney's expertly crafted costumes honoring her Mexican heritage [6].
