13 Days of Halloween: Day Seven

Last+Minute+Costumes

There’s officially a week till Halloween which means a week to find your costume. Luckily for you here are a couple of different inexpensive costumes that can be made from a couple of things from your closet or just buying a few small things.

Here’s a few of ideas for girls:

  1. You can be almost any animal with just a t-shirt, animal ears, and maybe a tail. Or if you want to be a little more unique, be a beanie baby. You can easily make the Ty tag with some construction paper, paint, and some string to tie it like a necklace around your neck. http://pin.it/Td9Sh1X
  2. If you have a plaid shirt, some denim jeans or short and some suspenders, you can be a lumberjack. http://pin.it/v5FmPCM
  3. As long as you have black clothes, a band tee and some faceprint you can be any member of Kiss.http://pin.it/i0DjYtk
  4. A tacky floral shirt, lei, khaki shorts and a fanny pack, and now you’re a tourist. http://pin.it/lGQf9PJ
  5. A pink t-shirt, preferably oversized, with purple leggings or tights and some converse and you’re Boo from Monsters Inc. just make sure your hair is in pigtails and you’re all set. http://pin.it/0o8iJyH

Now here are a few simple ideas for boys:

  1. A green striped sweater paired with khaki pants and you’re Steve from Blue’s Clues. http://pin.it/C3jV9tX
  2. Sticking with the khaki pants swap out the sweater for a red shirt with a lightning bolt and now you look like Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory. http://pin.it/Iuz30px
  3. A yellow polo with a single zigzag stripe drawn across it with some black jeans or shorts and you’re Charlie Brown. http://pin.it/Ie7Fywl
  4. Or if you don’t want to be a specific character, just throw on a cowboy hat, boots, a plaid shirt and jeans and you’re a cowboy. http://pin.it/tNnBR2y
  5. A reflective vest paired with a hardhat, jeans and a plain tee and now you’re a construction worker. http://pin.it/iH-7bgc

All of these are super simple and we hope you found one you liked, or you are a little more inspired. Happy Halloween!
