So Halloween is coming around again. If you’re sick of the usual, boring, cliche costumes and want to try something a little more fun and creative, here are some great ideas!
1.) Holy Cow: Someone suggested this on a website I visit and I thought it was such a cute concept. The idea is to start off with a cow costume (can be as easy as a spotted white shirt, white or black leggings or jeans, and ears), then add wings and a halo for the “holy” part. Cute, funny, comfy, and unisex!
2.) Gameboy: If you and your friends are the nerdy types, then a Gameboy outfit is perfect for this year’s Halloween party! You can find a Gameboy dress on Etsy or ebay (just do a search for it), but that doesn’t mean the outfit is just for girls. You can easily make your own Gameboy shirt as well. Start with a gray t-shirt, then add the Gameboy buttons via sewing, appliques, or fabric markers.
3.) Blackmail: This is another one I found on the same website. Dress all in black, then put postage stamps all over yourself. Ha! I love it.
4.) A Rorschach Test: Dress all in white, splatter black ink all over yourself. Then throughout the night, you can walk up to people and ask them what they see. I think that would be so much fun!
5.) Osama Bin Lama: Half Osama, half lama. Buy or make a llama costume (do a google search to find them online), then add over top of it a fake mustache and beard, a turban, and camouflage jacket.
6.) A Wine Rack: So this one involves boobs. If you’re a girl, you can use your own boobs. If you’re a guy, make yourself some fake boobs–it isn’t hard. Just stuff a bra. Girls, you can draw/create boobs on your shirt over where your actual boobs are. Then put a bottle of wine between your real or fake boobs. Boom, you’re a wine rack. Getting it to stay might be tricky, so some strong tape or glue may need to be involved.
7.) Chick Magnet: Get a black or silver shirt, and glue baby chickens (fake, obviously) all over it.
8.) Facebook: Recreate your facebook profile page out of cardboard, and cut out a square for your face where your profile picture would normally be. Maybe make it a cardboard box with holes for your arms to stick out, or attach it with suspenders or something, so you don’t have to hold a piece of cardboard all night.
9.) Super Sanitizing Man/Woman: So I had this idea a year or two ago but haven’t gotten the chance to use it yet. The idea is to dress in all white (very bright, very clean), and carry a sanitizing wand–which are wands that create UV light that you can use to sanitize things that are otherwise hard to sanitize, like keyboard or cell phones. You can buy them online, on websites like amazon and ebay. Add a white cape and a bottle of hand sanitizer in your hand or pocket. Knee high white boots would be a nice touch as well. Ta da! Superhero/germophobe combination complete.
10.) Oil Spill Mermaid Or Merman: I can’t remember where I first heard this idea, but I think it’s so awesome. Begin with a mermaid or merman costume (bought or homemade). Then add fake oil, which you can make much like you would fake blood. Start with corn syrup, then add food coloring to create the dark brownish color. Cover yourself in the oil and you’re good to go. If you’re not feeling the mermaid/merman thing, you can always go as a different victim of the oil spill, of course.
