Answer 1

ok ... thniking will update.

M & M’s - Get a large piece of felt in an M & M color of your choice. Choose from brown, yellow, green, pink, white, or virtually any other color. Cut out two large circles, big enough to place over your torso with room left over. Sew the top and sides, leaving room to slip the M & M costume on over your head and leave openings for your arms and legs. Using a second sheet of white felt or darker color for a lighter M & M, cut out the letter “M” and attach it to the front of your M & M costume.

Peppermint Stick – Dress in a white t-shirt hoodie and plain white cotton pants. Wear the hood up. Take red electrical tape and wind it diagonally around your body up to the hood.

Ghost -Don’t just stick the sheet over your head! Instead, cut a neck hole from an old sheet and wear it over your body. Take a second sheet, and drape and pin it (like a toga) to add a floaty, ghostly flair. Powder your face and your hair white, and drape light chains over your shoulders.

Mummy

Cut strips of off-white fabric, like muslin or cheesecloth, and wrap around the arms, legs, body, and head, but make sure the mummy can see and breathe!

Zombie

Take any old clothes and distress them by fraying the edges and dusting with talcum powder. Pick a theme---you could be a zombie groom, cheerleader, or waitress.

Skeleton

Using white or glow-in-the-dark fabric paint, paint a skeleton onto black sweats. Use face paints to make your face look like a skull.

Vampire

Wrap a large piece of dark velvet around your neck for a cape. Pin in place with an old brooch. Wear dark clothes in romantic fabrics like crushed velvet and satin.

Clown

Wear bright, oversized clothes, like plaid pants, a striped shirt, suspenders, and a large bowtie. Look in thrift stores for a pair of shoes that is way too big, then put one of your own pair of shoes inside the oversized pair so that you can wear them without falling over. Clown costumes can also be made from old band or baton twirler costumes, western wear, and secondhand suits (think hobo!). See the Rag Doll directions on how to make a yarn wig.

Superhero

Wear sweatpants and a sweatshirt in your superhero’s colors (or make up your own superhero). Make the superhero’s logo from felt, and glue it to the sweatshirt. Make an easy cape by wrapping a piece of fabric around your shoulders; hold it together with safety pins

Swashbuckler or Pirate

Wear tight black pants tucked into black boots and a white, peasant-style top. Make a cape by wrapping any fabric around your shoulders and pinning with an old brooch. Cut cardboard into a sword and spray paint it or wrap in tin foil.

Scarecrow

Wear a flannel shirt and overalls, and stuff the ends of the sleeves and pant legs with straw. Top with an old porkpie hat.

Rag Doll

Wear old, baggy clothes and striped tights. Stitch or safety pin squares of rags to your costume for patches. Make two long braids from red yarn and sew to the inside of an old hat.

Tourist

Wear a tacky, Hawaiian print shirt, khaki shorts, sandals with socks, sunglasses, and a camera around your neck.

Caveman or Cavewoman

Make a toga from animal print fabric. Cut the edges into jagged points. Carry a club.

Father Time

Cut a sickle out of cardboard and spray paint it silver. Glue it onto a long wooden rod (like a broom handle). Wear a black toga, and carry the sickle and a clock or an hourglass.


Roman Athlete

Wear a toga, and make a laurel wreath from fake leaves. Wear plain sandals, or try spray painting sandals gold and crisscrossing gold cord around your legs.

Friar or Monk

Make a brown tunic, and wrap a simple rope around the waist.


might update if i can think of more

Answer 2

Dude... simple and works... dress up like an old Italian farmer right, white long sleeve shirt, baggy black pants, a hat and a walking cane and black shoes... and you can roll your sleeves up and be a raunchy old man or voila... add some vino and your Charlie Chaplin... It takes about 5 minutes to learn the walk and the cane trick...

Answer 3

get a huge box and a sharpie marker, make the box look like a robot body. Buy some (4) dryer hoses that are silver and use for the limbs...you could also use a smaller box for your head and maybe 2 empty tissue boxes for shoes if you want.
It's creative and cool! ooh cd eyes!

I saw the best costume in the NYC village parade, and it was so simple! This guy took cardboard box and made a milk carton at of it. The milk carton was open in the front so you can see his face, and on top of the opening, he wrote "missing"

Classic!

I suggest you dress up as much as possible. Your best suit etc., as if you were going to a very fancy event. New haircut. Shiny shoes. And play the sophisticit (Spelling, I know.)

Answer 6

put a sheet over your head and cut two holes in it, i swear it will make someone laugh.
