Try These DIY Halloween Costume Ideas
Quick
and Easy Bank Robber Costume
You probably have some black pants and a black
and white striped shirt in your wardrobe already. All you need now for this bank robber costume is some black
felt, elastic, a white drawstring canvas bag, fake money, and black gloves. To
start, take your felt and cut it in the shape of a simple mask, then add two
eye holes before adding an elastic strap to keep it in place. Now take a
sharpie and draw a large dollar sign on your canvas bag. Fill the bag with
whatever you have on hand and few fake $100 bills at the top and you’re ready
to steal Halloween!
Colorful
and Cheap Pinata Costume
Who doesn’t love a pinata?
To get this costume together you’ll need a plain headband, five or more rolls
of colorful crepe paper, a dress, and some foam or cardboard cones. You’ll want
to choose a dress you’re cool with messing up as the glue from this project is
permanent. Start by cutting your crepe paper intro strips and then fringing it
on the bottom, do this with all your colors, you’ll need a lot of it. Next,
carefully glue it onto the dress in stripes, using fabric glue and mixing up
your color blocking as you go. For the headband, cover your cones in crepe
paper and hot glue them to your headband. That’s it! You’re ready for a
Halloween fiesta.
Cute
& Cuddly Cactus Costume
You could get this cactus costume together in less
than an hour. To get started you’ll need a baggy green sweater so hit the
thrift stores or you’re dad’s closet until you emerge victorious. Next, take
white pipe cleaners and cut them down to 3-inch pieces using a wire cutter.
When that’s done, you’ll want to bend them in half and poke both ends through
your sweater. Twist them once so they don’t fall off and the body of your
cactus costume is complete. However, every cactus needs a peachy pink flower on
top, and to achieve this you’ll need a bit of pink tissue paper and a headband.
Fringe your crepe paper and roll it into a flower shape before gluing it
together and affixing it to a headband.
Fake
News Costume
If you’re looking for a tongue in cheek DIY
Halloween costume that hits just the right note this year, why not go as fake news? For this easy costume
you’ll need a white t-shirt, black felt, a black skirt, some thick black
elastic, newspapers, and a stapler. Start by cutting the word “News” from your
black felt and hot glue it onto your white t-shirt. Next, measure your black
elastic to fit your waist and subtract 3-4 inches for stretch and fit. Staple
your folded newspapers to your skirt and make sure to sew or staple your
elastic closed. Slip it on over your black skirt and you’re good to go!
