Well crap.… It’s the day of your best friend’s Halloween party and you forgot. You didn’t even get a costume. First of all, you’re a terrible friend. Second, this is an easy fix. Here are some ways to whip up a last minute Halloween costume. 

CAT~ If you have black pants, black shirt, black shoes, or black face friendly products, make yourself the typical black cat. Draw whiskers and a black nose on your face and throw on black clothes. Grab a headband and a piece of paper. Cut two triangles and color them black then tape them to the headband. Now you have ears. You don’t need a tail.

FARMER~ Grab jeans, a flannel, boots, and a rake and you’re a farmer! Do two braids (or wear your hair normal) in your hair and wear a smile and you’ll pass as a farmer.

ZOMBIE~ Grab old clothes that you DO NOT want anymore. Cut them up and draw some blood with red marker. Make them look dirty with black eye shadow. Let your hair down and wear it crazy! Take the black eyeshadow and enhance your features (eyes, cheekbones, jaw line, temples, etc) to make yourself look more dead. Now you’re a zombie! Reminder: brains aren’t edible.

REFEREE~ Grab black pants, a white shirt you don’t want anymore, black shoes, and black face friendly product. Draw black vertical stripes on your white shirt and draw a line under each eye. You’re a referee! If you have a whistle that’s a bonus.

ANGEL~ Go through your closet and scramble for all white clothes. On the back of the white shirt you can draw wings and put white/ glitter make-up on! You’re an angel.

NERD~ Grab a skirt or khakis, a button down shirt, and bulky shoes. Suspenders are a must (if you don’t have any ask Mr. DiGiuseppe). If you have old sunglasses, pop the lenses out of those and now you’re a nerd!

BATMAN/ BATGIRL~ All black clothes with black shoes. Grab a sheet of paper and draw the bat logo (your preference of which one) and color it yellow. Cut it out and stick it on your shirt (tape or staple). Also on the white paper you can draw a mask and color it black. Use some string to tie it around your head. If you have an old black sheet you don’t mind cutting up, you can cut a rectangle and tie it around your collar for a cape. You’re batman/ batgirl!

CRAYON~ Any color of choice for clothing! Lay out your clothes and grab a black marker. Draw a huge oval on your pants and shirt but don’t color it in yet. Outline “crayola” and then fill in the rest with black leaving “crayola” the color of your clothes.

FOOTBALL PLAYER~ Look for an old jersey and black pants. Knee high socks the color of your jersey make you look more legit. Grab a black face friendly product and draw one line under each eye.

TWISTER BOARD~ Find all white clothes and a blue, red, yellow, and green marker. Draw circles with the four colors and write “twister” in red across your chest. Reminder: don’t let people walk all over you.

GOOGLE~ All white clothes for this one and a blue, green, red and yellow marker. Draw a search bar on the stomach area of your white shirt with black marker and then write “Google” with the colored markers across your chest. Reminder: be reliable.

You can also go to the store and buy a costume, but you’d be late and you don’t want to disappoint your best friend.
