***DIY Costume Ideas For YOU***
-Where’s Waldo?
A red and white striped T-shirt with blue pants. A red and white striped stocking cap and a pair of glasses. You can add fun accessories like a cane or camera that sometimes Waldo sports in his books
-Identity Theft
If you’re in desperate need of a costume but have NO time, grab a pack of “Hello, My Name Is…” stickers and a marker and write names on them, then attach them to your clothes!
-Pop Art Character (Comic Book Girl)

-Gumball Machine
Any costume that requires hundreds of pom poms is absolutely a good idea. Just glue them onto a little red dress, then add a swatch of felt for the quarter slot.

Hallelujah, it's a costume that's weather-proof and will make your friends LOL. Tape cutouts of your favorite guys to an umbrella then wear rain boots and a trench coat to complete the look.

***DIY Couples Costumes***
-Bob Ross and a happy little tree (Or a painting!)
*For Bob: A part of jeans, a button-up long sleeved shirt, and a large (afro-style) wig! Add a palette (can make out of cardboard) and paint brush, and you’re all set!
*For the happy little tree: Use a brown dress from your closet (or check the thrift store, then grab some strands of artificial leaves (most dollar stores will have them) and pin them to the dress! Decorate a hat with some leaves, too, so your head is covered in foliage!
*For a painting: Either get a canvas from a craft store and create a landscape painting on it, then cut a hole through for your face), OR check out a thrift store for a pice of a artwork that can be easily cut to make a place for your face!
-Pizza Slice and Delivery Boy
C’mon, who doesn’t like pizza? If you want to turn this into a couple’s costume dress your boo up as the delivery boy (or girl!)

-Danny and Sandy From Grease
You could really replicate a couple of Danny and Sandy’s styles from this movie, but the final scene is such a great one! For Him: Tight black jeans rolled at the bottom, Converse style sneakers, a tight white T-shirt and a black leather jacket. Can’t forget the greasy slicked hair! For Her: Tight leather pants or leggings, hot red heels, and a tight off the shoulder black top! Pretty curls in the hair are a great addition!
-Mary Poppins and Bert
Make your own Mary Poppins and Bert costumes that are practically perfect in every way!

-Soap and Loofah
Couples costumes that are nothing but nice, clean fun! For Him: Although you could create a soap sign to wear, to make it easier, use a white T-shirt and write ‘Soap’ with marker large on the T-shirt. You can add bubbles as well! For Her: To create the loofah look, you will need roughly 16-20 yards of tulle or netting. Using a tight tank top and shorts, dress, leotard or romper and LOTS of safety pins, start wrapping your tulle around your tight apparel and securing it with the pins.

-Peanut Butter and Jelly
For Him: A brown T-shirt with the emblem of your favorite peanut butter brand taped across the chest. For Her: A purple (for grape flavor) or red (for strawberry or raspberry flavor) T-shirt and your favorite jelly brand taped across your chest. Bam! DIY couples costumes to make everyone hungry and nostalgic.

Easy peasy and oh-so simple Halloween costumes! For BOTH: A red T-shirt. Then you can either draw or iron on a white circle and write Thing 1 or Thing 2. If you have time you could even add the wigs to make the costume THAT much better!!

-Troll Dolls
Channel you inner 90’s self and the troll toys you used to LOVE! Gel up your hair and spray it with temporary hair color.

Add some “jewels” cut out of fabric or paper (glitter foam is great too!) and decorate yourself!
