DIY Costumes You Can Throw Together In The Final Hours Before Trick Or Treating
Anytime Halloween is approaching, those who celebrate it begin to panic. What are you going to be wearing to stand out from the spooky crowd whether you’re going to a spooky party or going trick-or-treating? There are a lot of people who rush to the stores and spend a lot of money on elaborate costumes that they will never wear again. However, if you utilize the materials you already have at home and exercise a little creativity, you could create a costume that is both understated and potent. Here are a few quick and simple last-minute Halloween costumes!
The Perfect Trio
The three people who worked on this costume produced results that are, to put it mildly, mouth-watering! The final touches shouldn’t take very long at all as long as you have a beige dress for the hot dog bun and red and yellow dresses for ketchup and mustard, respectively. Create two cardboard condiment cones, attach them to pie tins, and paint them red and yellow. In order to create the appearance of a hot dog, cut some brown, yellow, as well as red fabrics.
What Do You Wanna Do
Several couples have likely pondered this question for themselves. What would it look like if we dressed up as Netflix and Chill for Halloween?
What Do You Wanna Do
One blogger, however, appeared to opt for the simple solution: while one T-shirt is white with the word “Chill” written on it, the other is white with the Netflix branding. Cut out certain snowflake shapes from some silver card, then adhere them to a headband to really bring home how chilly this couple’s costume is.
Beautiful Cactus
The phrase “beauty is in the simplicity” perfectly describes this costume. Blogger Studio DIY wanted to make a cactus costume because they were sick of pineapple costumes.
Beautiful Cactus
Basically cut some white string into tiny pieces and stitch every piece to your green dress to start creating the prickly effect. If you want to go all out, you can make some red and yellow pom poms out of string and attach them to a headband to give your cactus a “flower.”
Yumm!
It might take a couple extra hours to make Aww Sam’s Halloween costume than some of the other costumes on this list, but it will be worth it. To fill your donut box, you’ll need to buy some inflatable donuts.
Yumm!
Naturally, the next step is to construct the box, which must be large enough for you to cut a hole in the middle that allows you to enter and exit it without difficulty. You’re ready to go once you print the Dunkin’ Donuts logo and attach some white straps to the box.
Dressing Up As Arthur
You’d think it would be difficult to try and dress up as Arthur. However, YouTuber LaurDIY discovered a quick and clever way to resemble the animated aardvark.
Dressing Up As Arthur
You only need a headband and a pair of inexpensive round glasses to complete the transformation. Hot glue is used to attach the cutouts of brown and pink fabric that represent Arthur’s ears to the headband. You feel like you’re bursting out of the television!
Literally Raining Men
This could be the costume for those of you who are concerned that it will rain on Halloween. A “It’s Raining Men” costume designed by blogger Studio DIY features some of her favorite men “raining” from her umbrella.
Literally Raining Men
Undoubtedly, the first thing you’ll need is a working umbrella. Then, cut out the faces of your favorite man-crushes, string them to the umbrella, and print out their faces!
Say Whatever You Want
Why wear a single message on your Halloween costume when you can alter it whenever you want throughout the evening? You can rearrange these velcro letters to say whatever you want whenever you feel like it!
Say Whatever You Want
The secret is to use hot glue to attach velcro to black letters before attaching a few lines of velcro to the front of your costume. It’s best to have at least a few lines to evenly space out your chosen words.
Pop Art Costume
This last-minute Halloween costume is primarily made of makeup, unlike the majority of the others on this list. The good news is that you can essentially wear whatever you want. Use some inexpensive white Halloween makeup to create the polka-dot effect.
Pop Art Costume
Then, use a black waterproof eyeliner pen to create the outline effect. Although the pop art makeup is completely customizable, those two elements are unquestionably crucial if you want to look like an Andy Warhol masterpiece.
Fave Combo
Due to their love of pasta, Sarah and Nick chosen to dress up as their go-to dish for Halloween: spaghetti with parmesan cheese. They only needed a green and red shirt, a colander, some string, plastic forks, as well as some few other supplies, as per their tutorial.
Fave Combo
Nick used brown pom poms as the “meatballs” for the spaghetti and hot glued them to the front of his sweatshirt. Sarah simply straightened a logo onto her shirt to serve as the parmesan. Voila!
Dress Up As Sia
Blogger Julia created a last-minute Sia costume for Halloween that made her look exactly like her idol! Of course, the traditional two-toned wig that covers the eyes is the most crucial component she needed to change into the Australian pop star.
Dress Up As SIa
Put on a black dress and a white jacket. Next, make your own enormous bow out of a piece of shiny, black fabric, and attach it to a black headband. Only a small amount of red lipstick is left. Speaking of “cheap thrills”
Newly Wed
Jessica, a newlywed blogger, decided that since they had just returned from their romantic getaway in time for Halloween, it would be amusing to make herself and her husband appear to be long-married.
Newly Wed
They didn’t appear to need to make much for the costume. They already owned reading glasses, coffee mugs, and nightgowns (just kidding, they were made out of wire). Jessica needed to purchase some curling irons for her hair, which she had painted grey with hair paint.
A Walking Bubble Bath
Possibly the easiest costume on this list is this one! To give the impression that you are taking a bubble bath in front of all of your friends, you only need three things. Simplest way to decorate a white T-shirt with white balloons is to wear a shower cap, hold onto a shower sponge, and inflate twelve of them.
A Walking Bubble Bath
One of those blatantly obvious costumes that is also incredibly simple to make is this one. Winning!
Let’s Sing
Since James Corden’s highly amusing Carpool Karaoke segment on his show rocked the entire globe, it appears that countless individuals have tried to recreate their favorite songs on their own.
Let’s Sing
One couple made an outfit out of Carpool Karaoke because they were so into the show. They extracted an old boombox and microphone from their attic and transformed a piece of card into the front of a car. Pretty easy!
Error
Given that it’s essentially just a t-shirt with some writing on it, this costume is without a doubt the most understated on this list. It’s funny, though, there’s no denying that.
Error
The irksome sight of seeing “Error 404” appear on your screen when you attempt to connect to a website is familiar to most people. Simply iron some letters onto your white t-shirt or attach them with velcro. Even some font stencils could be used to write out the message.
One Of The Easiest
Finding a quick and simple costume for Halloween at the last minute is helpful, but it’s also helpful if it fits the festival’s theme—something spooky! An excellent choice is a skeleton costume.
One Of The Easiest
Nevertheless, if time is of the essence, you can create your own. Easily hang a white t-shirt over a black tank top by punching holes in it. You now possess the illusion of a skeleton. Face paint in the colors of black and white also helps.
MIB Plus The Pug
You can easily dress as the Men In Black for your Halloween party if you have a pair of black suits stashed away somewhere along with some sunglasses. Possessing a pug is also advantageous. Do you recall Frank the Pug?
MIB Plus The Pug
He is the movie’s standout character. But seriously, if you do have a dog, be sure to, at the very least, get him a little tie to go with your costumes.
From The Deck Of Cards
Who would have imagined that a deck of cards could serve as the foundation for a memorable Halloween costume? One of the simplest costumes of them all is unquestionably this one. The card-based royal collar is without a doubt the most significant component.
From The Deck Of Cards
Just use super glue to attach them together, and make sure it fits snugly enough to prevent suffocation. You can also make a cute little royal hair tie by shaping some gold wire into the shape of a crown.
American Gothic
American Gothic is unquestionably one of the most recognizable works of art in American folklore, and it makes a fantastic Halloween costume because you can dress however you want!
American Gothic
The iconic painting must be printed onto a blank canvas or piece of card, however. Then, either the hubby with the pitchfork or perhaps the wife trying to give him the evil stare must have a hole cut out of their faces. Heck, you two could even travel together.
Literally Bread Winner
This young woman exaggerated the meaning of the term “breadwinner” to the point of complete absurdity. Some costume ideas can be taken a little too literally. There is no better place to find inspiration if you want to show up at your Halloween party as a silly pun.
Literally Bread Winner
To look like an Olympic champion, simply put on some inexpensive medals, purchase some bread, and wear a headband. Everyone will adore you, especially considering that they’ll steal the bread to soak up their Halloween brews.
Selling What?
“…On the seashore!” You’re familiar with the old tongue twister. Many children pick up this phrase during illocution classes. But did anyone ever imagine what they might appear to be like? An individual hawking seashells by the water’s edge?
Selling What
This woman went along with the plan and adhered some seashells she had collected from the beach to the inside of her jacket. Now that she comes off as a shady shell dealer, her friends will all be saying, “Ahhh, I get it,” at once.
The Queen We All Know
One of those combo outfits that is straightforward and to the point is this one! The bee crown, which is the most crucial component of this costume, calls for a headband, some scissor work on some gold card, and the creation of the bumble antennas from wire and yellow pom-poms.
The Queen We All Know
Even better if you wear some sort of sweatshirt with black and yellow stripes. There’s no doubt that you’ll become the talk of the party in this simple-to-make costume!
Did You Think Of Something Else?
There is a Halloween outfit inspired by the sexy book Fifty Shades of Grey that is “safe for work.” Finding a color sample-filled interior design brochure, cutting out all the different shades of grey, and sticking them in a random arrangement on the front of the t-shirt of your choice are the key steps.
Did You Think Of Something Else
To really drive home the point, the t-shirt should ideally be either white, grey, or black.
Tabasco For A Night
This is about as straightforward as it gets. While this lady started printing a generic McIlhenney’s Tabasco logo from Evite for her costume, we see no harm in going the full mile and printing a real McIlhenney’s Tabasco logo.
Tabasco For A Night
Print the logo, cut a border and bottle top (hat) out of green paper, and then stick the border with the logo. Next, adhere the logo to a red dress. You need a red dress to make this work, so pay attention, people.
Bat Costume
A bat is another Halloween costume that would be appropriate. But if you don’t have time to go out and buy some black wings for your outfit, here’s a cute little substitute.
Bat Costume
Use two of the thirds from an old, black umbrella that you no longer need to make the wings. You are now a bat if you attach them to a black hoodie. Additionally, you can cut out some ears from black card and attach them to a headband.
Blessing In Disguise
A good thing might not be as obviously good at first glance, according to the definition of a blessing in disguise. Therefore, a costume that exemplifies this concept is a really cool way to solve your last-minute Halloween costume problems.
Blessing In Disguise
Obviously, a cape is essential to this idea because it gives you the appearance of a superhero hiding in plain sight. The solution should be some tissue paper. Of course, having the word “blessing” printed on a t-shirt is also helpful.
