A couch potato is not a costume! This Halloween dress up and have some fun. Here are a few easy costume ideas that won’t break the bank- plus, a couple of tips to keep the party rolling with all those scary ghouls and goblins. These cute costumes and tips will surely leave them laughing and definitely leave them wanting for more.
The bag lady:
1. Get yourself a pair of old torn jeans and an ugly plaid shirt from the thrift store. Add a big old hat and a black pair of boots.
2. Go to your local 7-Eleven and ask the clerk if you can purchase some small paper cigarette bags. Or even a small paper lunch bag will do.
3. Tease your hair and blacken a tooth.
4. Have fun with this costume. And don’t forget a toothy smile when you recite the line, “What’s it gonna be? Your place or mine?”
Clown:
1. Wear a loud, paisley blazer with a black top and some black leggings.
2. At the party store purchase some elf shoes and a funny jester hat with a bell on the end.
4. You’ll have fun poking fun at your friends with, “Hi, know any good jokes?”
And here’s a costume that goes together in a pinch.
Girl in a fruit hat:
1. This one is simple. Weave a large material wrap around your head; then hot glue plastic fruit onto the wrap. This really works well with thick hair.
2. Wear some large round hoops on your ears.
3. Last but not least, find last year’s gypsy skirt and, viola! There you go!
4. Have a stash of Wrigley’s gum on hand.
5. Don’t blow their minds too bad when you ask, “Care for a piece of Juicy Fruit?”
Then there is the classic princess, angel or countess. Make a plan to go to the thrift store early because the competition will be stiff; seek out an old, strapless cocktail dress. For a dramatic look, apply spray glitter on your shoulders. Spray glitter comes in all colors, so you can be bold and creative. The true secret for this costume is to be sure and purchase a large mask, the bigger the better. You’ll be the belle of the ball and no one will ever know who you are. Smashing!
I suppose I like a more subtle sort of humor. Like, I prefer to glue on a pair of Spock-like ears and wait, wait, wait…until my victim notices. Granted, it may take a couple of minutes. But then, I turn on a smile and say, “I heard this band rocks.”
Remember, a couch potato is not a costume, so get off the couch and prowl, my Sweet. And have a hooowwlling good time this Halloween.
