How to Make a Cheap Halloween Costume

Halloween is becoming as big as Christmas when it comes to shelling out money. So if you’re sick of spending money for one day a year, eHow has the answer. Here’s three quick and easy costumes.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Magic marker
• Memento Dvd
• The Aviator Dvd
• Bathrobe
• Milk jug
• Tissue boxes
• Tape
• Gift tag

1. Be the guy with short-term memory from “Memento,” who tattoos reminders all over his body. Get a magic marker and have someone write daily reminders all over your body. “Buy milk,” “Pickup Grandma from bingo,” "Buy a Halloween costume," etc. Any inane reminders would work.

2. Be Howard Hughes as portrayed in “The Aviator.” Wear a bathrobe and tissue boxes as shoes, while carrying around a milk jug. In the movie, Howard Hughes urinated in the milk jug, but there’s need no need for that. Fill the milk jug with beer. Make sure to wander around your Halloween party aimlessly muttering, “Wave of the future.”

3. Put on any outfit you want. Take a gift tag and fill out the recipient as “Women,” with it coming from, “God.” Tape the gift tag to your shirt and you’re now God’s gift to Women.

Tips & Warnings

• Don't use permanent marker for your "Memento" costume.
• Don't leave your milk jug unattended.

on 11/2/2008 Great job. I was seeking for a quick and painless costume for my boyfriend at 7pm on Halloween. His main goal was not having to wear a stupid costume. I googled easy costumes and found this article. Turned out # 3 was perfect. Got it together in 10 minutes and we were ready to party!
