Halloween is just around the corner, and you’ve procrastinated on your costume. Don’t panic! Here are some quick and easy last-minute costume ideas that you can throw together with items you probably already have at home.
- Tourist: Grab a Hawaiian shirt, shorts, sandals with socks, a fanny pack, and a camera. Don’t forget your sunscreen and a map!
- Cat: All you need is black clothing, eyeliner for whiskers, and some cat ears (you can make these with a headband and construction paper).
- Athlete: Put on your favorite sports jersey or team shirt, add some face paint, and carry a ball or other sports equipment.
- Zombie: Tear up some old clothes, apply pale makeup, and add some fake blood (mix corn syrup with red food coloring).
- Nerd: Don some thick-rimmed glasses (or 3D movie glasses with the lenses popped out), a button-up shirt, and suspenders. Carry a calculator or some textbooks.
Remember, the key to a great last-minute costume is confidence. Own your look, no matter how thrown-together it might be!
