Last Minute Costume Ideas
Last minute costume ideas: truly last minute options for wicked costumes.
Some people plan next year's Halloween costume the day after Halloween. But if you're in a pinch, and need a Halloween costume fast, like in less an hour, then here are the options to create a homemade Halloween costume in a hurry. Some good things to gather for your last minute costume include: duct tape and a hot glue gun!
Boxed Wine Halloween CostumeOne of the most unique Halloween costumes I've ever witnessed was a boxed wine costume. The party-goer created the costume on the same day as the party. She found a box large enough to fit over her entire body. An appliance store is your best bet for this.Next, she used magic markers to write all the information you'd see on a box of wine on her boxed-wine costume. She wrote out the warning label, drew a large wine glass on the front, and put the product information on the backside of the box. The best part of her Halloween costume was that it served double duty. She purchased a box of wine and removed the vacuum-bag of wine from the box. She cut a small hole in her costume to place the bag of wine on the inside of her costume. The tap for the wine was pulled through the hole. The bag of wine was then secured in place with a lot of duct-tape.
Magazine Mermaid: Last Minute Costume IdeasMagazines can be turned into last minute costume ideas in a number of creative ways. I once saw an incredible mermaid costume made almost entirely from the pages of magazines.Her unique Halloween costume was one of the most beautiful costumes I've ever seen. First, she drew an outline of a mermaid on large piece of cardboard. She cut it out then used it as a template to create the exact mermaid on a second sheet of cardboard. The two sheets of cardboard served as the base for the front and back of her costume. Next she stapled the tail end together and did the same for the head of the mermaid. She punched holes in the mermaid costume and attached ribbon (string) to create suspenders. These suspenders, worn over her shoulders, allowed the mermaid to float across her body. She wore a black boy suit (like a gym suit or workout suit), since the mermaid only covered her mid-section. Finally, for the creative part of the Halloween costume. She cut hundreds of magazine pages into small squares. She hot glued each square into a cone shape. Then, she attached all the cone shapes to the mermaid body to create the look of scales. It was spectacular. When I asked her how long it took her to create this last minute costume she said, "all night". She was referring to the night before the party. She said it only cost her about $5 and another $10 for the bottle of wine it took to get her through the night of costume creation!
Duct Tape: Unique Halloween Costume Ideas.There are a million things you can do with duct tape! You use it around the house to fix a leak or a broken taillight...now it's time to put that extra duct tape to work on your last minute Halloween costume.You can create a really good robot costume with duct tape, small boxes, tin foil, possibly a few burned out light bulbs and whatever else you have lying around your house that fits the bill. Duct tape mimics the look of metal, so go crazy! Need more last minute costume ideas for all that duct tape? Cover a box with duct tape, cut a hole in the box for your head and arms and go as a refrigerator. Make a door on the box and tape bags of snacks and treats to the inside of the box. Decorate the door with refrigerator magnets that you hot glue on. Add a shopping list for the full effect. This homemade Halloween costume idea is similar to the boxed wine costume above.

Zombie Costume IdeasZombies have to be the easiest and cheapest last minute Halloween costumes to make.A few key elements to a zombie costume include torn clothing, white makeup on your face and neck (to give the appearance of being dead) and black make-up around the eyes. It's a really great idea to include the cause of death in your zombie costume. A bullet wound to the neck, or an axe to the head, and a shark bite are all good causes of dead! You can get really creative with this part. You'll also need fake blood for an authentic look.
