Quick Halloween Costume Ideas!

Are you all ready for Halloween? Have a pumpkin? Spooky decorations? A few spider rings? A giant bubbling cauldron? A few parties to attend? How about a costume?

You don't have one yet? Well, no fear, here are a few fast and cute homemade Halloween costume ideas for you to try!


I'll list the supplies and leave the rest to your imagination! They are pretty self explanatory!

Autumn Leaves Costume
  • Brown Hooded Sweatshirt 
  • Silk Leaves
  • Safety Pins
Basket Full Of Laundry Costume
  • Old Laundry Basket
  • Clothesline (or any rope)
  • Clothes
  • Clothespins and/or Safety Pins
Gold Digger
How to: Gather all the gold jewelry you own—rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings—and put it on; the more outlandish, the better. Stick to gold or metallic clothing and shoes, and give your hair a golden spritz. To complete this look, head to the garage and borrow a (lightweight) shovel to carry around with you all night.

Time Flies
How to: Loop a long piece of string or rope (something sturdy enough to hold the object’s weight) through the back of the clock. Wear it like a necklace around your neck and attach a pair of costume wings to your back.

Self-Portrait
How to: Use a frame that’s large enough to showcase you, the painting, from the bust up. For a classical look, tie your hair back into a low ponytail or bun and wear ruffles or a cameo around your neck. Sign your name on a mailing label or plain white sticker and adhere to the top left corner of your shirt, so it peeks out from the bottom of the frame and looks like the artist’s “signature.”

Iron Chef
How to: Buy a white chef’s hat and tie an apron around your waist. If the apron has pockets, tuck a ladle, spatula, and pasta server inside. Carry a clothing iron around with you all night long.

Here are some more fun ideas:
  • Wrap yourself in a roll of orange felt. Cut armholes and put an orange ski cap on your head. Go as a carrot stick.

  • Safety-pin a bunch of cheap watches and costume jewelry on the inside of your coat. Go as a con man.
  • Get a large box and paint it white, green or tan. Make a hole at the top for your head and armholes. Glue on some magnets and some post-it notes with shopping lists and phone numbers. Go as a refrigerator.

  • Get a roll of orange yarn and a few bags of roasted pumpkin seeds. Glue them all over a cheap orange sweat suit. Go as pumpkin guts.

  • Throw a white sheet over your head, and cut a hole for your head to come through. Wear a yellow hat and paint your face yellow with make up. Go as a fried egg.
  • Dress like a mailman. Get a stuffed dog and sew it's mouth to your pant leg.
  • Get a box and paint it white. Make holes for your head and arms. Paint or draw black spots on it and go as a die. If you have a partner, make two and go as a pair of dice.
