Halloween is only a few days away and if you're like me you've probably procrastinated coming up with an awesome costume for your Halloween escapades. Whether you're heading to a costume party, treat or treating, or bar-hopping you don't want to show up without a costume. In order to help my fellow masters of procrastination I've compiled a list of D.I.Y. last minute Halloween costumes. 1. Burglar(s)For this D.I.Y. all you need is a black and white stripped shirt, some black slacks, a mask and-of course- your bag of "stolen" cash! 2. Rosie the RiveterThis is another quick and easy last minute costume. All that this requires is a red bandanna, and a collared jean shirt. For added effect you could add a sign with the well known phrase "We Can Do It!" 3. "Nudist Strike"While this is a more "punny" costume it is extremely easy to make. All you need is a sign that reads "Nudist Strike" no other materials required just wear the sign over your clothes! 4. "Identity Theft"While I've seen this one a lot it's still a pretty creative and easy costume idea. All you need is an abundance of the "Hello My Name is:" stickers. Once you have the stickers write as many different names as you can think of on them and then stick them all over you! 5. "Low Budget Man"To be honest this is one of my favorites. All you need for this DIY is a trash bag and some duck tape. Don the trash bag as a cape and in duck tape spell out low budget man. You are now a superhero off to save the world, but on a budget. 6. "50 Shades of Grey"Once again super easy costume especially if you're short on time. For this costume all you need is fifty grey paint swatches, then just glue them to your shirt and you are now "50 Shades of Grey"! 7. Nickel backFor this next costume all you'll need is some nickels! Hot glue the nickels to your shirt and you've transformed into "Nickelback" 8. "The black Eyed Peas"This is a costume geared towards couples or if you have a friend to pair up with. To become the Black Eyed Peas is a shirt with the letter P on it and a black eye, just use some black eye shadow or costume makeup. 9. GhostThis costume is a classic. All you need is a white sheet and a pair of scissors. Drape the sheet over yourself and cut some eye holes out so you can see where you're going while you're trick or treating. 10."Fantasy Football"This is another "punny" costume idea. What you'll need: a football, a witch/wizard hat, which/wizard robes and a wand. The magical aspects will create the fantasy while the football creates the look. | |
