We all know the struggle of last minute costume making. With this article you will have a list of 5 easy costume ideas made by you with items around the house. The creativity level here is endless and you'll be in your own DIY costume in not time!

1. Find some clothes you don't care about if they get stained. Next, get out the red food coloring and dilute it into some water. Splatter the "bloody" water onto the clothes and go from there! I don't know exactly what you'll be, but with some clever face makeup you are sure to look spooky!

2. Find some light colored clothing and put it on. Grab some toilet paper or gauze, and wrap it all around your body. Now you're a mummy.

3. Find the tinfoil and do the same thing as the mummy. If you're feeling extra creative add a cardboard box that you can fit into! You could even make a tinfoil hat and you'll be the coolest robot walking through the streets.

4. Whip out the bed sheets kids! Throw the sheet over your head and cut a couple holes in it so you can see! You could also add some fake blood to this, or dye the sheets green and be the Flying Dutchman!

5. If you're feeling lazy, just find a paper bag and draw a spooky face on it! Cut out some eye holes and you're ready to go!
