DIY Halloween Costume Ideas That Everyone Will LOVE!
Halloween is getting seriously close and if you haven't already decided on your costume yet, have no fear.... we're here with some ideas for you! Why spend too much money in one of those pop-up Halloween shops, getting the same outfit that 3 others at the party will be wearing (or that you've been seen a dozen times in the past), and try out an easy DIY costume for this year?!
These ideas range from a single-person costume ideas, to outfits for a pair, and some ideas for a whole group! They're creative, fun, and you'll get points for them being a homemade work of art at the end of the day, too! These ideas are things that really, anyone can make, no matter your artistic/crafty ability. Be ready to receive some compliments and hopefully, even that '1st Place Prize' or 'Best Homemade Costume' award at some contests, this Halloween!
Enjoy!

-Minnie Mouse or Micky Mouse
Cute Halloween costumes inspired by classic Mickey and Minnie… the cutest mice around! For BOTH: Any combination of black and red clothes will work. Find mouse ears at a local dollar store. If you don’t have a nose, you can use black body paint to paint one on! Living so close to Disneyland, the chances of you or someone you know, having a pair of ears for you to wear are very good!
-Kate Middleton
Go classy for Halloween in a blue frock and matching felt hat inspired by the real-life Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge.

-A Bank Robber
A striped shirt, a dark beanie (eye cutouts to wear as a mask), and gloves are you need for a robber costume. Grab a cheap bag at a discount store and add a $dollar sign$ to it to take your costume even further and hold all of your things for the evening!
-A “ceiling” fan
Use a sharpie to write "Go Ceiling" on a t-shirt. Bring along some pom-poms or a foam finger 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!
-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.

What classic couples costumes! For Him: Tight black jeans rolled at the bottom and a tight black, tucked in T-shirt. For Her: A knotted white T-shirt and cut off jean shorts. Easy Halloween costumes for adults? Check!
-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!
-Mario and Luigi
What a cute couple costumes idea! For Mario: A red T-shirt and suspenders. Add a red hat with a white M. For Luigi: A green T-shirt and suspenders. Add a green hat with a white L.

-50 Shades of Grey
Although the featured couple created AH-dorable pieces out of paint chips (which is pretty time-consuming)… you can STILL pull these off as last minute Halloween costumes by just wearing ALL GRAY. Though ideally, if you can run to your local hardware store and pick up a bunch of gray paint chips and recreate the tie and skirt, you are sure to emphasize the fifty shades!
--- DIY GROUP COSTUMES ---
-M&M's
This is perfect for a last minute, group costume idea! Grab a variety of solid- colored shirts and put the letter, "M" on each one!
You can get a white fabric marker for the easiest (and fastest) letter option, buy an iron-on stencil from a craft store, or have someone design them on a vinyl cutting machine (like a Cricut) for the best-looking option and great for long-term use!
-Dominos
Not only is it an easy game to play, it's also an easy costume to make. Just take a black t-shirt and leggings and use a glue gun to glue some white felt circles on your costume. It's as easy as that!
-Soda Bottles
It doesn't matter if you call it soda, pop, or fizz, these soda bottle costumes are adorable and totally attention-grabbing.
-Minions
Who doesn’t love minions? Cute to dress as and easy to make, these costumes are perfect for you and your friends this Halloween!
