Last Minute Diy Costumes

Last-minute DIY costumes are a great way to save money and get creative for Halloween. There are many easy costumes that you can make using items you already have around the house, such as:

• Ghost: Cut two eye holes in a white sheet and drape it over your head and body.
• Witch: Pair a black dress or skirt with a witch hat and broom.
• Cat: Pull on a black outfit and add cat ears, a tail, and whiskers.
• Pirate: Find an eye patch, bandana, and toy sword, and put them on with a striped shirt and jeans.
• Superhero: Create a cape and mask from fabric scraps, and wear them over your favorite outfit.

If you have a little more time, you can also try making more elaborate costumes, such as:

• LEGO block: Cut out a cardboard box to fit your body and paint it yellow. Then, glue on red food storage containers to represent the studs.
• Cassette tape: Cut out two large rectangles of cardboard and paint them black. Then, glue on a smaller white rectangle for the label and two empty soup containers for the spools.
• Skeleton: Draw a skeleton on a black shirt and cut out the shapes. Then, wear it over a white shirt to create the illusion of bones.
• Zombie: Rip up an old shirt and jeans and add fake blood and dirt. Then, do your makeup to look pale and sickly.

No matter what kind of costume you choose, DIY costumes are a fun and affordable way to celebrate Halloween.
