As you know, money is tight for college kids when it comes to those leisure expenses. Likewise, that doesn't stop any of us from going all out to try to dress up for the all too well-known college halloweekend. From dynamic duo costumes, face paint, arts and crafts, and stereotypical costumes, there is something everyone can throw together from things in their closets- to running down to a small shop and grabbing something for a few bucks. Here are six of those quick DIY costumes you can try out for yourself:
1. Risky Business
One of the most iconic costumes on campus. Throw together a too-big-for-your-body button up, shades, high socks and some undergarments and you've got yourself some sexy risky business!
2. DIY Cat...or dog...or deer...or bunny...or...
Sure it's so stereotypical, but it's also simple. Wear regular clothes (color code them if you wish), throw some animal ears on (store bought or easily a Pinterest fix), and if you wish, you can even paint some face details too!
3. Frat boy
Okay, this wouldn't even be a college costume list if "frat boy" wasn't on it. If you don't have the articles of clothing for this, trust me, your guy friends definitely will. Throw a big button up on, some Bermuda shorts, your favorite pair of moccasins and a backward baseball cap and you are set to go. Both hilarious and cute!
4. Netflix and Chill?
Wanna get creative and artsy? Make these cute t-shirts! A great dynamic duo costume with your best chick (or guy friend, lets be real). After puffy paint (or vinyl letters if you want to splurge) and a night to dry, wear it with a pair of spandex and you've got yourself a conversation starter and a comfy outfit.
5. Alvin and the Chipmunks
Like Netflix and Chill, this is another amazing dynamic duo (group) costume! Big T-shirt, paint, and shoes...that's all you need! Trust me, these kinds of costumes are college party favorites.
6. Scarecrow (or farmer)
Plaid is a fall favorite. Throw it together with jeans, boots, and a (straw) hat and you can be a farmer! Throw on a stitched smile and eye socket patches and you're one party ready scarecrow!
