With everything going on this year, it’s easy to lose track of time and forget that Halloween is right around the corner. While it may be too late to order a costume online, it’s the perfect opportunity to get creative and create your own costume with items you already have lying around your house. Besides, there’s nothing better than DIY Halloween costumes. Here are five costume ideas that are super easy to recreate.
Bunny
For a bunny costume, all you really need are dramatic ears and you can create your own with paper, felt, or feathers and gluing them onto an old headband. Just wear a white dress or bodysuit and you’re costume is set!
Mermaid
Glue on some shells and embellishments to an old tee or bra for the top half our your costume and for the bottom half, use a green skirt or tutu. If you really want to commit, get a long red wig to turn yourself into Ariel.
Vampire
This Halloween outfit is all in the makeup and fangs. With some killer makeup, you can look like you put a lot of thought into your costume.
Leopard
When you already have so much animal print in your wardrobe, why not use it to create a Halloween costume? All you need to do is throw on some cat ears and you’re done.
’80s Workout Babe
Put your crop tops and neon pieces of clothing to good use and dress up like an ’80s workout babe. If you have leg warmers, neon tights, or an exercise headband that’s even better!
