20 DIY Halloween costumes last minute ideas

1. The classic Hippie, by wearing a pair of flared jeans, a tye die shirt or anything floral. Some funky sunglasses will put this look together quickly.

 

 

2 and 3. Cut a sheet for a quick dress to achieve a Greek goddess, don’t forget the gold jewelry! Get a bad of plastic snakes from the dollar store or Walmart and transform into Medusa.

 

4. Grab a solid color dress out of your closet. Paint any superhero symbol on a piece of felt with glitter glue, paint, or even sharpies you already have in your desk. Then attach it to the dress with tape or pins. Make your own cape from fabric to pull this superhero costume together.

 

 

 

5. Get a big piece of fabric or a sheet and cut it into a cape. Wear something red, black or really any dark colors you have laying around and grab a pair of teeth from Walmart. Voila! You are a vampire.

6. Be any athlete with a jersey you (or a friend) have on hand and paint black stripes on your cheeks with eyeliner.

7 and 8. Be a baby or an old lady using your pajamas and some face/hair spray paint to put together your look.

9. If you have a red or black dress get a pair of devil horns for cheap at Walmart and be a devil.

10. Pull your cheetah clothes out of your closet and get a pair of cat ears and be a classic cheetah or get two of your girlfriends to join you and be the cheetah girls!

 

11. Use face paint to be a zombie and wear any outfit you feel would fit the part.

 

 

12. Be the classic Rosie the Riveter feminist icon just using a denim shirt and red bandana and red lipstick.

 

 

13. A gypsy can be accomplished by wearing your favorite maxi skirt any shirt, a scarf around your waist and don’t forget bracelets and necklaces to top it all off!

 

14. Cut holes in a white tank top and wear a colorful bra to be the center of the party, Regina George.

 

 

15. Two buns on your head and red lipstick will make you instantly transform into Miley Cyrus.

 

 

16. Be a bundle of grapes with a green headband and as many purple balloons as you can stick to yourself.

17. Draw an eyeball on a yellow shirt and wear your favorite jean shorts with a head band to be a minion from despicable me.

 

18. Wear any flannel and get a straw hat to be a scarecrow.

19. Google the make up to do a sugar skull and wear any cute outfit to put this awesome costume together.

 

 

20. Cut out white circles with felt or paper and stick them to a black outfit to be a cute but simple domino.

I'm Nicole! Nikki, Nic, anything you want to call me really. I'm from south-eastern Pennsylvania and I love life and beauty. Whenever I'm not writing or taking pictures for my blogs or social media accounts, you can find me (hopefully) at the beach surfing, traveling, making new friends and seeing new places. I'm in love with people I've never met and places I've never been to. I am currently a Senior (!!!) at Shippensburg University, majoring in Communications Journalism (focusing in Public Relations) and minoring in Psychology. I would love to work for a PR firm with advertising, event planning and perhaps a chance to travel. Thanks for reading!! - Nicole
