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].
