Creative Homemade Halloween Costumes

 
 
 
 

Halloween is great and all, but spending the time looking for a good costume can get annoying.  There are only so many times you can go as a cheerleader, football player, or even the old classic standby, the bum.  Whether your wallet has been hit hard by the recession or your last minute trip to the costume store came up negative, we have some fun and creative homemade Halloween costumes just for you.

Thanks to Jim Halpert (John Krasinski) from The Office, expect to see lots of people running around tomorrow with the word "book" painted across their face.  Going as the popular social network site Facebook is a creative, cheap, and fun way to pay homage to Halloween.  Do you have more of a flare for the dramatic and want to make a bigger statement than just painting a word across your face?  Check out some of our homemade Halloween costumes that can be ready in less than an hour.

  • Ghost:  Grab an old white sheet, cut a hole in the center for you head, make some eye slits, and alakazam, you’re a ghost!
  • Miss America:  What girl does not love to get all decked out and look amazing?  Grab your fancy dress from your cedar closet and get dressed to the nines as Miss America.  Remember, heavy on the makeup and if you are without a sash, you can use toilet paper.
  • Mummy:  Get ready to be dizzy!  Ask your friend to help spin you around as you wrap yourself in toilet paper.
  • Mad Scientist:  Time to raid your boyfriend's closet.  Grab a large dress shirt, a tie, oversized glasses, and head into the kitchen for rubber gloves to finish off the costume.

These are just a few ideas to help you get started.  Be creative; use that old crimper that is collecting dust and be Cyndi Lauper or sport skinny jeans and Ray Bans and become Robert Pattinson.  Whatever you choice, make sure to have a fun, safe, and Happy Halloween!  If you already have your costume picked out we would love to hear!
