In the spirit of spooky season, it’s time to get creative with what we have at home and put together some last-minute Halloween costumes without spending a dime. It’s surprising how easy it can be to put together something fun and unique with just a little bit of imagination and a rummage through your closets. Here are some ideas to get you started on your zero-budget Halloween adventure:
The Classic Ghost
It’s a timeless classic that never gets old. Grab an old white sheet, cut out a couple of eye holes, and voila! You’re a ghost!
Mummy
With just a roll of toilet paper, you can wrap yourself up and become a spooky mummy. It’s a wrap!
Zombie
Ransack your closet for some old, tattered clothes and use a little makeup to create that undead look. A little bit of fake blood goes a long way, but if you don’t have any, red food coloring mixed with corn syrup works wonders.
Vampire
Find a black cape or use a black trash bag as a cape, wear formal clothes underneath, and don’t forget to fix your hair into a sleek style. A little bit of white makeup and fake blood will complete the look.
Cowboy or Cowgirl
Pair up some jeans with a checkered shirt, and if you have a cowboy hat or boots, even better. A rope or a bandana can also add a nice touch to this classic look.
Robber
All black clothing, a makeshift mask, and a bag with a dollar sign drawn on it will do the trick. You’re ready to hit the Halloween candy bank!
Cat or Bunny
A simple and cute option. Dress in a color that matches your chosen animal, and create ears out of cardboard or paper. Don’t forget to draw on a nose and whiskers or a cute bunny nose.
Wizard
With a long robe or a large t-shirt, a pointed hat (which can be made from cardboard), and a stick for a wand, you’re ready to cast some spells.
Athlete
Don your sportswear, grab a ball or a racket, and you’re set to score some candy this Halloween.
Superhero
Get creative with this one. Choose your colors, make a logo, and create a cape out of a sheet or a large piece of fabric. Every superhero needs a cool name, so don’t forget to come up with one!
