Instant costume (for adults)

We're not going out anywhere for hgalloween, but I still like to dress up to gve out the candy. Unfortunately, cash reserves are low this year, and so is my inspiration. What are some instant costume ideas using stuff around the house?

A ghost? All you need is a sheet and a pair of scissors? :)

How about a witch? Dress up in black, buy a witch's hat for $1 at a dollar store and do your makeup the right way for a witch.

I'm not very creative this year either.
pippy long stocking

2 pairs of colored tights or hose...snip one leg off of each..put both pairs on....it is girdle like so beware...

braid hair, weave thin plant wire through braids..make them cockeyed

unmatching top and skirt

2 different shoes

freckle dots on your face :D
I stick a cowboy hat on my head, and Joan puts on a Big Dog mask... it kinda looks like a sheepdog.

A few years ago, my motorhome pretended it was the 4th of July for Halloween, and put on Red, White and Blue lights and flags... :roll:
One year I had my one of my sons go as a bag of garbage and the other go as a bag of leaves. Simple, simple, simple. I took one large "lawn and Leaf" bag and put holes for legs had him slip it on and stuffed newspapers around the inside of the bag to make it "fill out". He was small enought at the time to put his arms through also. I had him dress in a black hooded sweatshirt. I then staple closed the top of the bag and then taped some "clean" garbage looking items near the top. I did a similar thing for my other son, but taped leaves on his bag to make them look like they where falling out of the bag. Cheap and easy and a big hit. I had them wear black knit gloves also.
a really really bad costume is this

wear black leotard and tights with a black skirt and hi heels...staple mail all over yourself....with an eyeliner pencil write F on one cheek and E on the other.....

go as a FE mail 8O
Ron, that sparked an idea! My sister has all of her western (horse) show gear. I can go as a cowgirl :)
How about a big white robe, a big white towel tied as a turban and a mudpack on the face and maybe a couple of slices of cucumber over the eyes?
How would I see to give the ghouls and goblins their candy? Actually... that doesn't sound bad for real... hmm. Spa day anybody?
Maybe you could offer them the candy in a bowl of the "mud"... maybe make some instant choclate pudding in a big steel bowl and insert a clear plastic tupperware in the center to hold the candy?

Be sure to wear clothes underneath... some of the teenagers might accidentally pull the robe belt :D :lol:
:roll: :roll:
