We’re college kids, on a college budget, with a very festive holiday coming up. Instead of buying a costume for up to $100, look in your own closet and see if any of these Do It Yourself ideas are right for you! Add some of your own flare or stick to the basics, but hopefully a few of these DIY’s will help you figure out what you want to be for Halloween this year while helping you save some money! For even more great ideas, click here, or here.
Ladies:
- The Little Salt Girl – Pull off a totally different costume that only requires a yellow dress and an umbrella!
- Nancy Drew – A vintage dress and magnifying glass is all you’d need!
- Miley Cyrus – Put your hair in buns, wear a white tank top, and carry a teddy bear.
- Miss America – The perfect excuse to dress up and all you’d need is a crown and sash!
- Mary Poppins – All you’ll need is a black skirt, red bowtie with matching lipstick, and an umbrella!
- Tooth Fairy – A white dress and a homemade ‘tooth wand’ is the minimum requirement!
- Rosie the Riveter – You can pull this costume off with a blue button up and a bandana!
Gents:
- Brawny Man – Be out of the box with this simple look, jeans, a red plaid shirt and some stubble.
- James Bond – All it takes is a suit and some aviators to be James, James Bond.
- Walter White – Get noticed in a green button up shirt, lab goggles, an apron, and some good ol’ tightie-whities!
- Woody from Toy Story – Be one of your favorite animated characters with a cowboy hat, a yellow shirt, a red bandanna around your neck, and some cowboy boots!
- The Fonz – All you’ll need are tight jeans, a white t-shirt, and a leather jacket for this easy and stylish look.
- Steve Urkel – AKA, nerd, so suspenders, a plaid shirt, a cardigan, and add a pair of taped up glasses and you’ll be good to go!
