Adult Costume Ideas
If you need and adult
costume, or one for a child who is too "cool" to dress up try these:
pin or sew mismatched socks and dryer sheets to a sweatsuit and go as
"static cling" also: hot glue a red, yellow, and green circle of felt
to a yellow t-shirt and go as a stop-light! One year I went as the stoplight and
my husband was a "high-way." For him, I hot-glued some plastic cars
and a yellow dotted line of ribbon down the front of a black t-shirt. Perfect
for those people who want to be comfortable at a party. -- Vicki from MI
A cute Halloween
costume idea we did a few years ago worked perfectly for a family party at our
church. My husband dressed up like a farmer, I was a plant (it was just
green sweats and I wrapped fake ivy all around my arms, legs, etc.) and my 2
year old son was a pumpkin. We'd tell people, "Here's the farmer who
planted the plant that sprouted a pumpkin. It was cute. -- Katrina from AZ
I had a friend once
that came as "white trash". She cut 3 holes out of a white
garbage bag for her face and hands. She painted her face white with
costume paint. She bought a plastic garbage can, cut two holes out for her
legs, she held the can up with her hands over the top holding onto the handles.
She attached the garbage can lid to her head by adding straps and attaching
under her chin - sort of like a helmet. She wore white leggings for her
legs to be white. She was short and could sit down inside the garbage can.
It was a wonderful costume and the hit of the party!! - -Tracy from GA
Suggestion for adult
Halloween costume. One year, I took a VERY large orange sweatshirt--like a
3XL or something. I painted a jack 0'lantern face on the front, put on
green leggings and a green ski cap. Instant pumpkin costume and it didn't
take hardly any time!
Another year, I needed a last minute costume for work. I used a lawn and
leaf trash bag. Cut leg holes in the bottom and arm holes in the sides.
I gathered the opening for the back around my neck. I filled the loosely
with newspaper and stapled silk fall leaves from the craft store to the outside
of the bag and made a wreath for my head out of silk leaves also. Great
"bag of leaves" costume! -- Lisa from CO
