9 Cheap, Last-Minute DIY Group Halloween Costumes

In This Article:

Here are nine easy group Halloween costumes if you don't have a lot of time or money!! They're really easy to make for groups big or small, and inexpensive too!

Four Seasons (and Vivaldi!)

Giphy

Be as creative as you want when making the Four Seasons costumes; bundle up for winter, whip out your best Hawaiian shirt for summer, so on and so on. And it's even better if someone in your group dresses up as Vivaldi! (Bonus points if you get the joke)

Care Bears 

Giphy

You can personalize this costume however you want with just a plain color shirt, white felt, and some markers. Making some ears from felt and cotton balls isn't that hard or expensive either!

Cards Against Humanity 

Giphy

This will definitely be a hit with the crowd on Halloween. Feel free to personalize these cards however you want, and mixing-and-matching will make for some hilarious group photos.

Fruit (Ninja?) 

Giphy

Making a fruit costume isn't that hard because all you have to do is decorate a shirt, and you can really get creative and make any fruit you want. If you want to get super creative, you can harken back to 2010 and have some people in your group dress up as ninjas; all it takes is a few people to wear all black in addition to your creative fruit numbers and voila, Fruit Ninja!

M&Ms (or Skittles!)

Giphy

All you need is a T-shirt and some white felt or paint, easy as that! And you can have as many people in as many different colors if you want, so this is a great easy costume for big groups! And if you're more of a Skittles person, all you have to do is change the' to an 'S' and you're all set.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 

Giphy

A green shirt and some fabric paint makes this costume incredibly easy for anyone to make. Extra points if you make felt bandannas and/or tin cooking pan shells!

Dalmations (and Cruella)

Giphy

The only thing you need for this costume is a white shirt and a black marker, and maybe some black face paint as well. One person in your group could even throw on a dress and some white gloves and be Cruella!

Mimes 

Giphy

All you need is black jeans, a striped shirt, and some face paint and you have the perfect mime costume! It's great for big groups and if anything, you'll only need to buy a cheap striped shirt and face paint, so it's very inexpensive too!

Kiss

Giphy

If you want to go more hardcore than a mime but still want some awesome face paint, the band, Kiss is a great option! Just throw on all black, paint your face, and stick your tongue out and you've got it on lock!

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
