Five Fun DIY Halloween Costumes

That is definitely me at parties.  If I could find/make an adult Sulley costume from Monsters Inc, I would absolutely wear it. I love dressing up in costumes.  Here are five DIY Halloween costumes from previous posts to inspire you.

Number One: Katniss Everdeen

If your hair is long enough to braid (or you happen to own a long wig), this Hunger Games inspired outfit will be a piece of cake!

You will need:

- hair long enough to braid

- leather jacket

- boots

- neutral colored clothing

- bow and arrow (if you can get your hands on these)

Number Two: Anne Taintor Fifties Housewife

I adore Anne Taintor's vintage style 1950s housewife illustrations with hilariously sarcastic captions.  The basic requirements are an apron, red lipstick and a big, vapid smile.

You will need:

- fifties style dress

- apron

- red lipstick

- kitchen utensils

Number Three: Walking Dead Zombie Victim:

Crafting a zombie costume would look awesome, but involves A LOT of work, so allow me to suggest an alternative: zombie bite victim: pre- rigor mortis.  Transform yourself into a horrified, half dead, freshly eaten zombie meal with minimal effort.  This stage of zombification doesn't involve make up, stumbling, or creepy rubber prosthetic skin to mimic a decaying face.

You will need:

- an outfit to tear a part

- lots of blood (I used Simply Spray Fake Blood)

Number Four: Miss Frizzle

So this wasn't originally a halloween costume, but as a child I was all about Magic School Bus books. I thought about Miss Frizzle the entire time I was making this dress.  Wouldn't it be a fun costume?

You will need:

- Galaxy dress

- fun shoes

Number Five: Greek Goddess

The Greek Goddess is kind of a Halloween Costume staple.  Just like the basic ghost costume, this outfit starts with a simple white sheet.

You will need:

- a white sheet

- gold sandals

- fake vines for a crown
