Halloween is right around the corner. Maybe you forgot to get a costume, or maybe you just found out about a costume party. Maybe you have a small budget. If you fall under any of these categories, you're in the right place. Here are 10 costumes you can make on short notice and a small budget.
(All times are 100% estimated. I haven't made any of these.)
1. A Lego Block
Grab some solo cups and a cardboard box (that you probably have laying around somewhere). It will only take a couple layers of paint, cups, glue, cardboard, maybe scissors, and about 45 minutes (or less) of your time.
2. A Jack-O-Lantern
Wear an orange shirt (or dress) and some black bottoms. Grab a black sharpie and draw a face on the orange top. You can make this one in around 10 minutes (or more, I guess, if you want to get really creative with the face).
3. Your Friend
Just grab some of their clothes. You can do this one in less than 2 minutes. You can add a name tag so you don't have to keep answering the same question all night.
4. Twister
Dress in all white. Cut out colored construction paper circles, then glue them on your white clothing. This one should take about 15 minutes.
5. A Mime
Gather some black clothes. Cover your face with white paint. Takes about 7 minutes. Bonus: You don't have to talk.
6. A Pregnant Woman
Stick a pillow underneath your clothes and tie it in place with some string. Wobble around and you're set. This will probably take about 3 minutes (to actually getting dressed. For the full effect you'll have to wobble all night). You may need a friend's help to tie the string.
7. Spirit of Halloween
Just wear black and orange clothing. Takes approximately 2 minutes (depending on how fast you get dressed).
8. A Highway
You can wear some black clothing and tape some yellow tape right down the center of your body and then white tape down the center of each half. Depending on how quickly you can get the tape on, I'd estimate this to take about 8 minutes.
9. Undecided
Black or white clothing will work for this one. Just cut out a question mark from some construction paper , tape it on, and you're good to go. Probably takes about 4 minutes.
10. A Domino
Wear some black clothes and a white belt. Cut out some white circles and arrange them with the numbers you feel suit you, or reverse the colors (white clothes with black dots). This will take around 10 minutes.
