With Halloween only a few weeks away, it’s time to start getting your costume(s) ready! Â
But as a UConn student, on a tight budget, what can you do to put a costume together?
With a little bit of creativity and some rummaging through your closet these costumes are a great idea!
Â
1.) Â UConn Mom
What you’ll need: Â A Uconn Sweatshirt (one that says mom is ideal), a school baseball hat, fanny-pack, foam finger, jeans, and a pair of white sneakers. Â Need a costume for your boyfriend too? Â Go out as the ultimate UConn parents!
2.) Â Eco-Friendly HippieÂ
Â
Get a recycling bag from your RA recently? Â Put it to good use!
What you’ll need:Â UConn recycling bag and your own unique hippie style using clothes you can find in your closet! Â Borrowing from friends is a good solution if you don’t own boho clothes.
3.) Â Bat
With all the rainy and windy days we have here at UConn, there’s bound to be a broken umbrella in someone’s closet. Â Of course unbroken ones work too, but why spend money if you don’t need to?
What you’ll need:Â a black umbrella, pliers or wire cutters, hot glue gun, scissors, a black hoodie and either a sewing kit or saftey pins. Â Follow these step by step instructions to achieve this look.
4.) Â Athlete or Super Fan
UConn has a huge sports fan base!  There’s nothing quite like Husky Pride, so why not borrow a jersey from one of your guy friends and go as an athlete or a fan?
What you’ll need:
(Athlete): Â An athletic jersey, eyeliner to draw on some eye black, leggings/yogas/jeans, and a pair of converse. Â Simple as that!
(Super Fan): Â Uconn T-shirt, white and blue facepaint, temporary tattoos, foam finger, blue & white wig (optional). Â Anything that exemplifies the Bleed Blue motto is encouraged. Â
Have a great Halloween and remember to stay safe!
