You don't have alot of time now, so here's some easy home-made costumes. Just wear some jammies or a sweat suit, something comfortable. Take socks and dryer sheets(wrinkled up used ones)and pin them to your clothes, and go as static cling! Or...dress like a teacher, put a paper airplane in the back of your hair, glue spitwads on your back, and be a substitute teacher. Or...find a basket and fill it with garden tools, gloves and muffins, and be Martha Stewart(handcuffs r optional)hope this helps! Have fun!

Last year I saw on the Martha Stewart show how they made a witches costume from black garbage bags and duct tape.
you need the drawstring bags. one they cut a slit in the area under the drawstrings so it was a bit longer and they cut ,in a zig zag, the bottom part of the bag off, that part is used for another part of the costume.
this one is for the top half of the costume. It is put on like a tube top with the drawstrings as the shoulder straps. pull and tie to fit.
don't worry about the strings coz they get covered later.
then another bag is cut to be the skirt, zig zag like the first and that is tied around the waist. Duct tape as much as needed to keep the top and bottom together.
they also cut a third bag in half to be the sleeves...they used duct tape to hold things in place. Just tape the sleves to the top.
the cut off parts are used to make the cape and they pulled on the zig zag points to stretch them.(also did on skirt)
It was pretty cool and waterproof but you may need scissors to cut the costume off when done.
I hope I explained enough for you to figure out how to do it.
a half dozen bags and tape are cheap especially if you already have them around
where you cut the zig zag depends on your size.
the sleeves bag is cut down the sides so one half the drawstring can be each sleve gather at the neck...
cut and fit the dress to size.
just add a hat and your good to go.

How about as "the cat who swallowed the canary"? I did this one year and won the $100 prize. Dress in all black - turtleneck, jeans, boots, gloves. Add cat ear's and tail stuck in the pants. Then use makeup glue to attach yellow feathers to your chin and shirt. No one could figure my costume out all day.

If you don't have time to order one some of those are pretty easy to put together with only having to buy a few things.
Good luck!
