In case you, too are still looking for your costume this year, and you aren’t looking for something as over the top as I am, we have put together a few cute DIY, last minute ideas. Check them out. Share your costume know-how with others ideas, tell spooky Halloween tales, or just leave us some feedback!
Bag of jellybeans:
You need a clear plastic trash bag, a bag of balloons, duct tape (my favorite), markers or paint, and some poster board. Cut yourself arm holes and a head hole in the trash bag. Put the bag on and duct tape the bottom shut so that it is tight enough around your legs to keep the balloons in. Blow up the balloons and stuff through the head hole into the bag (don’t blow them up very large). Use the poster board to create a label for your bag then tape in place. *Note: this can turn out to be a costume unfriendly to bathroom breaks, so tape with caution!
80’s hipster:
This one can be really fun depending on how wild your wardrobe is (or on how long you hold onto your clothes). Pick out pieces of clothing with lots of color and/or bright

80’s hipster:
This one can be really fun depending on how wild your wardrobe is (or on how long you hold onto your clothes). Pick out pieces of clothing with lots of color and/or bright
patterns. Light colored denim works well. Leggings or
some sort of spandex are helpful for girls. Fingerless gloves, anything with
holes, big hats, jewelry, accessories, hair, etc are all great additions. If you search box. Laugh for a minute, then raid your closet for similar pieces.
Dancer from the Ipod commercial:
This costume is inspired by the first Ipod ads. All you need to do is dress in black, head to toe, and paint your face and any exposed skin black. Then carry around your ipod – the white one only – and bust out some crazy dance moves. For an added bonus, find someone willing to dress up as the neon backdrop, wearing a bright poster board.
Human Sudoku:
Its as simple as it sounds: make yourself into a giant sudoku game. Buy some poster board, grab your sharpie and go to town. You can find games to copy at http://www.websudoku.com/. Punch two holes and make the board into a giant necklace with some ribbon, or make yourself a 2 sided board and dangle one on your back too. Don’t forget to take the marker with you to the party so people can fill you in!
