Make Quick, Easy, AND Cheap Halloween Costumes

If you're looking for quick, easy AND CHEAP Halloween costumes, you've found them! Read on for great ways to cleverly and cheaply make a Halloween costume for a fun night out with your friends and family!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Step 1

Be God's gift to women for Halloween! Put a big, bright bow on your head or body with a large tag hanging off of it that says, 'To: WOMEN, From: GOD.' Wear a nice suit or a very cheesy outfit to add some extra life to the costume.
Step 2

Be Miss Universe! Put on a nice dress and heels. Grab a roll of toilet paper. Measure out a piece that will fit across your body like a pageant sash. (Double it up and use tape if you want to make it a bit sturdier.) Write across the toilet paper in big black letters, 'MISS UNIVERSE.' Drape it over your shoulder and tape it together at your hip. If you have a toy tiara, wear it! If not, put your hair in a glamorous style and accessorize!
Step 3

Be a squeaky toy! Grab a squeaky toy and remove the squeaker from inside it. Keep it in your pocket and when people ask you what your Halloween costume is, tell them to squeeze you to find out. When they squeeze or hug you, squeeze the squeaker in your pocket and tell them, 'I'm a squeaky toy!' Dress in a wild outfit to throw people off!
Step 4

Be the laundry! Take a soft plastic laundry basket and cut it from the bottom to top along one side. Also cut a hole in the middle of it. Wrap the basket around your waist or hips. (Depending on how tall you are, you may have to cut arm holes through the basket.) Now start filling up the basket with lightweight clothes like shirts, socks, pantyhose, and bras. Now you are the laundry!
Step 5

Be a guy with an idea! Put on one of your hats. (Baseball caps and hats with brims work best.) Grab a wire hanger and undo it completely. While looking in a mirror, wrap the hanger around the outside of the hat. Start from the bottom and wrap it around and around until it stays firmly on the hat. Now take off the hat. Grab a light bulb and carefully wrap the free end of the hanger around it so that it is securely held in place. (You can use duct tape as well.) Now fold in the hanger around the rest of the hat so that the light bulb is centered above the hat. Put on the hat. Voila! A guy with an idea on Halloween!
