Easy Halloween Costumes

Making your own easy Halloween costumes is a great way save money, while having a lot of fun at the same time. With just a little imagination and a few simple supplies that you probably already have on hand, you can be sure you'll have a one of a kind masterpiece this Halloween.

Devilled Egg Costume

For either kids or adults, try the simple, but cute devilled egg costume. Using a pair of plastic "devil horns," an easy to make pitchfork, a few pieces of felt, and a red sweat suit, you can have a fun costume that doesn't cost a lot of money or a great deal of time to make.

The basics you'll need are:

Red clothing

White and yellow felt, or heavy colored paper

Devil horns and pitchfork

Double-sided tape

Instead of buying them, you can always make your own horns using construction paper, a regular hair band, and some glue. It's also rather easy to make a pitchfork using a cardboard tube from a roll of wrapping paper and covering it with either black electrical tape or aluminium foil. The fork part can be made from either the aluminium, or from cardboard or construction paper.

The extras:

Red construction paper

Gift wrap tube

Tape

Glue

Aluminium foil or electrical tape

What to do:

Simply cut out the white and yellow felt or paper into the shape of an egg, and affix it on the front of the red shirt using the double-sided tape or fabric glue if you're using felt. Accessorize with red pants, the horns and pitchfork and you've got a devilled egg.

Sunflower Costume

What you'll need:

Yellow clothing

Craft foam

Cardboard

Green and yellow acrylic or other non-toxic paint

Make-up or face paint

Green ribbon or yarn

What to do:

Attach the craft foam or cardboard to the yarn or ribbon after painting yellow and cutting into petal shaped pieces. Yellow petals can also be made out of construction paper and easily wrapped around the yarn, although they will need to be smaller than if you were using craft foam.
