With Halloween right around the corner, the search begins for last-minute costumes. It’s hard to find the perfect idea; hopefully this list of DIY ideas can provide some last-minute inspiration for creative costumes.
1. If you are looking for a classic costume, why not go as the ever-popular Where’s Waldo? This costume is fairly straightforward and only requires a red striped t-shirt, jeans, fake glasses, and a red and white winter hat. As an extra, you can add the classic binoculars he wears.
2. A classic group costume, the fruit salad, is a cute and inventive choice! It only requires over-sized t-shirts of various colors and some artistic DIY painting of fruit. Some classic fruits to include are pineapple, watermelon, kiwi, and strawberry. Get creative with this easy DIY project!
3. If you are looking for a very low effort idea, go for the “Error 404 costume not found” shirt. All this costume requires is a white t-shirt and black fabric marker. Simply write “Error 404 costume not found” on the shirt and head out.
4. This prickly costume, the cactus, only requires a green sweater, white pipe cleaners, and paper flowers (optional).
These classic and creative Halloween costumes are easy to DIY last minute, but still make it look like you put time and effort into choosing the perfect costume. Have fun and have a happy Halloween!
