I need to create a Halloween costume - from stuff I have at home

[Anonymous]

Just found out that I'm required to wear a costume to a get together of about 20 women next week. It's casual, so it doesn't have to be fancy. What can I put together last minute from stuff I have at home?

OK, please list everything you have at home and we will try to help.

- Hippie (floral dress, unkempt hair, sunglasses)
- Redneck (white tank top, red bra showing underneath, tassled hair, blacked out tooth)
- Witch (black dress, will require you to borrow a hat, which certainly one of your neighbors has)
- Catholic school girl (short skirt, blazer, hair in braids, glasses)
- Vampire (white make-up, any clothes)

Mad Men secretary. Just anything that looks like an office girl in 60's.

-farmer (jeans, plaid shirt, bandanna)
-Tie a ribbon around you (with a bow), add a gift tag that says "To: Men, From: God" (Gift from God. haha?)
-You could take a book and cut a hole in it for your face (facebook)
-cat (all black, construction paper ears taped to a headband)
-Artist (smock/apron with paint splattered on it. cardboard for where paint goes, paintbrush)
-Dust bunny (grey clothes, dryer lint, bunny ears & tail)
-Lost & Found (cardboard box, random items thrown in. Maybe a sign on your back too)
-Nerd (glasses, pocket protector, high pants, suspenders)
-Little white lie (dress in all white. Safety pin "lies" on index cards to you. i.e. 'your baby is so cute' 'those pants don't make you look fat!' etc)
-static cling (dark clothes, smaller clothes pinned to you. maybe a dryer sheet too)

Haha, not OP, but these suggestions are great! I especially like the "phenomenon" costumes like "static cling" ;--)

Take a black or brown garbage bag and cut arm and leg holes. Fill it full of leaves so it is puffy around your body. Find some wire or cut out cardboard to make a halo. Go as 'Holy Shit'.

GO AS A DISCO DIVA FROM THE SEVENTIES

Clear trash bag worn around the body + small colored balloon = bag of jelly beans. You can't sit down, though.

Dress all in pink and wear a shoe on your head. Bubble gum!

Knee high boots, leotard and tights. Add short piece of fabric for a cape and paint on a mask - you can be any superheroine you want to be!

High collar shirt and leggings with boots. Buy craft foam, cut out two pointy ear shapes, glue along the edges and slip over your ears - you're a Vulcan.

Stuff 2 pair of tights with anything light and hang them on a belt around your or neck. Cut in half another pair and put them on your arms. Octopus!

Or... Take 8 baby dolls with you. Make your lips huge. Octomom!
