Do you know what to be for Halloween? If not, are you looking for quick, easy, budget-friendly ideas? Here’s a few.
For starters: the classic bedsheet ghost. For this, all you’ll need is a white sheet and scissors. Drape the sheet over yourself and cut holes for your eyes and you’re done! Don’t forget your matching pillowcase if you plan on trick-or-treating.
Another idea is to be a mummy. For this costume just wear an all-white outfit and wrap a roll or two of toilet paper around your body.
Another costume idea could be a robot. Get some cardboard boxes and paint before cutting them up into a classic box-like shape and painting them silver with some buttons throughout. You could also add a head out of cardboard and cut out the eyes for vision. You could also decorate the costume with recycled items such as aluminum foil and bottle caps.
A sports player is another easy option. If you already have a jersey or a T-shirt with a sports logo on it, dress up as a player from that team. All you’d have to do is add some sport-themed accessories such as a baseball glove or a football helmet.
If you wanted to do a specific person, you could always do Steve Irwin by wearing a khaki-colored collared shirt and carrying around a toy crocodile such as an inflatable or stuffed one.
A fun idea is dressing up as a crayon by wearing a solid-colored shirt, a cone-hat made from construction paper or cardboard, and painting the name of the color chosen on the shirt.
Animal costumes are popular because they’re simple. Wear a solid or animal print shirt and add matching ears. Makeup helps enhance any costume you may want to wear; add some leopard spots or doe dots to complete the look.
If you want to be the classic video game character Steve from Minecraft, all you’ll need is the classic blue shirt and pants and if you wanted you could buy a Minecraft pickaxe from somewhere like Amazon, or you could always make one out of cardboard by using many different tutorials on YouTube.
