I don't know if this is good for a guy but heck if you dare this might get good laughs
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.

Well depending on your job......you wouldn't want this if you were sitting all day or working around something hot. Trash! Get a large trash sack like a yard-bag cut holes for legs at the seam on the bottom of the bag and arms on the sides, make the holes snug. Wad up newspapers and fill the bag loosely then tie it above both shoulders. put a little black and/or brown Crayola washable marker on your face and rub it a little to make it look like dirt. Make sure you use Crayola washable markers or you won't get it off! Wear basic sweats and a T'shirt under the bag. Old looking shoes, you know junk it up.

properly looking on your job......you will not decide for this in case you have been sitting all day or working around some thing warm. Trash! Get a great trash sack like a backyard-bag decrease holes for legs on the seam on the backside of the bag and palms on the factors, make the holes comfortable. Wad up newspapers and fill the bag loosely then tie it above the two shoulders. placed somewhat black and/or brown Crayola cleanable marker on your face and rub it somewhat to make it appear like airborne dirt and dirt. make certain you utilize Crayola cleanable markers or you will no longer get it off! placed on uncomplicated sweats and a T'blouse below the bag. previous looking shoes, you already know junk it up.

I was watching Ellen yesterday and I thought she had a really good (not to mention simple and cheap) costume idea. She had on a pink hooded sweatshirt and she had the hood over her head. She had a shoe stuck to the top of her head on the hood. She said she was gum on the bottom of a shoe. I thought about doing that myself!

HOMEMADE.... easiest and cheapest! This is what I did one year. Temporary black hair dye. Green Halloween make-up, rotten teeth, an ex-lg flannal shirt (maybe your dads), and old work pants.
Do your hair all whitchy with hair glue / hair spritz...
put on the shirt, and stuff shoulders with small pillows (or wad up some papers), to raise shoulders up to hide your neck...
Put on the pants, paint your face green, some black eye liner around eyes, and lips, and put in the rotten teeth.
OMG...what a riot!

Can you get your hands on a cheap halloween makeup kit and a black eyebrow pencil? If so, then make your face pale, draw the lines above and below your eyes and to the sides of your mouth, dress all in black, gel up your hair and go as The Crow.

Get a pair of black or navy blue sweatpants and sweatshirt. Tape or staple a bunch of empty cereal boxes to the shirt. Then stick butter or dull dinner knives into the boxes, taping the blades on the inside with the handles sticking out....
Presto you're a CEREAL Killer....

If you have a black suite and black sun glasses..... "Men in black"
If you have some old clothes you can rip, makes holes, make it look dirty, don't shave, etc. , carry a bag with recycled cans/plastic bottles .... Homeless person.
If you have a old white sheet, ripped it in and wrap your self in like a Mummy, you can wrap only a leg, arm, and head... A Mummy
OK that is all I come up with for now.

easiest and cheapest thing to do....it to dress up like a disco 70's person. Go buy an afro and you or one of your friends probably have something in your closet that is 70s looking.....draw on some nice big sideburns and borrow you sisters (or friends) bellbottoms and your good to go lol.
