So, Halloween is approaching quickly. My oldest son is awful about choosing a costume, so I figure he can not be the only one. Need some ideas for fun, creative, quick easy DIY costumes with household materials:
Candy Cane- Wear white clothes and use red duct tape. You can also add green duct tape too. Apply in a diagnal strip pattern.
Cotton Candy- Wear white clothes, use pink tulle (available at Walmart even) cut it up and apply in bunches with saftey pins.
Charlie Brown: Wear a yellow tee, black marker or fabric paint (for zig zag stripes on the tee), black pants
Where’s Waldo: Red and white striped tee (very easy to make with either markers, paint, even duct tape), beanie, eye glasses, jeans
Present: Cardboard box (that’s big enough for you to fit into!), wrapping paper, ribbons/bows
Bunch of Grapes: Green or purple clothes, matching balloons, safety pins. This one even one a price last year when I took my girls to a Halloween parade.
Rainbow: Using a white shirt, paint the colors down your shirt, or if you have a bunch of friends you can each wear a single color of the rainbow.
Dry cleaning: Plastic dry cleaning bag (just slip it over any outfit), add a tag.
Hersey Kiss: Use a garment bag, a hula hoop and tin foil
Raining Cats and Dogs: Wear a raincoat and rain books, use and umbrella and attach stuffed cats and dogs on the top.
These are just a few ideas to get you thinking. Need ideas for carving your pumpkin?

Great list! When I was a kid, I dressed as an Oreo Cookie a few times. I wore a white shirt and pants and made a round sandwich board that I painted black. It was comfy, cheap, and cute.
