Once again, I'm down to the wire on halloween! I need a costume idea that's creative, fun, and that I will have to buy few items for.. (I don't do store-bought costumes)...

Okay...this should be fun for me.
1) Dress all in black. T-shirt, pants, shoes, accessories. Then follow your friends around all day, when they ask, say "I'm a shadow! Now stop moving around so much, your making me dizzy!"
2) (I did this as a kid) Wrap yourself in toilet paper, outline your eyes and cheekbones in eyeliner. Ta-da! Your a MUMMY!
3) Long sleeve collared shirt. Pull a t-shirt over that, pull collar over shirt. Find jeans, baggy or with holes will do. Pull on a beanie. Borrow a HakiSac. Look dazed. You are now a stoner.
4) Find a long sleeve black shirt. Black pants. Black dress shoes. Borrow a beret or straighten your hair and part on the side. Outline your eyes in black. Black lipstick is optional. Spout poetic phrases. You are a beatnik.
5) Raid your brother's or a guy friends closet. Go as a guy. If the guy you borrowed from is awesome, let him dress up as you. Go as a double mix.
6) Borrow or buy a black ski mask or wool hat. Dress suspiciosly or in prison stripes. (Or you could just dress normally with a ski mask, I'd find that funny) Fill up numerous Halloween Trick or Treat bags with candy or objects of equal mass. Sneak around and "covertly" look into other peoples bags. You are a Halloween Bag Snatcher.
7) Find a white t-shirt, perferably one you will never use again. Write lewd comments, girls phone numbers, life quotes, ____ sucks quotes, song lyrics, and dumb rhymes on it in magic marker. On your face, paint a men/women bathroom sign. You are a bathroom wall. (Okay, kind gross if you think about it...but don't think about it.)
8) Gather all those lonely socks who have lost their partners. Find a t-shirt and pants that match. Tape, glue, safety-pin, or sew all the socks to your pants and shirt. Go as the dryer monster that always eats your socks.
Alternative: say you have SERIOUS static cling.
Quick Tips:
Never limit yourself to your own closet. That's what friends are for, raid theirs.
Nothing says dedication and creativity like a really good Halloween makeup job.
You don't have to be any one thing, bedazzle yourself with odds and ends out of your closet. It doesn't matter what you are, as long as people have to look twice to believe it.
Don't limit yourself to the idea of clothes, go for fabrics, plastics, metals, papers. You could pretty much do anything.
If you go trick or treating, it won't matter if your shoes match the outfit. Go for comfort. Your feet will thank you.
If all else fails, dress as crazy as you can. Mis-match. Layer. Use glitter and makeup. No one ever said you couldn't go as an imaginary friend.
Hope that helps a little! Happy Halloween!

I had a friend that looked into her closet and created the following costumes. She even managed to win a prize for the most creative. Here are a few examples:
You can create a bunny costume from tights, body suit, construction paper and pipe cleaners for the ears and whiskers, check your first aide kit for cotton tails.
she use a white Roman style dress and a wide gold belt for her waist and create Isis. My oldest daughter took dance lessons: ballet, jazz and tap. Her younger sister inherited her old recital costumes , one year she was a flapper, dance hall girl and the most beautiful costume of all was the year she went dressed as Belle from Beauty and the Beast. She was the best Belle in the Halloween parade. It just takes some creativity and imagination. Go for it see what you come-up with that's original and different. Good Luck.
How about taking a large black thrash bag, cut holes for arms and legs, take empty food boxes such as: crackers, cereal, mac and cheese ,ie. staple, tape or paste the cartons so they actually look like a bag of groceries. Make sure that half of the cartons are sticking out of the trash bag all away around. Now you are a walking bag of groceries. You can also cut out pictures of fruits and vegtables and have them sticking up out of the bag. Step in to the bag and go. Use your imagination you'll be surprise what you may come up with. Also ask your friends if you can raid their closets and parents too.

You could be Barbie, buy a cheap blond wig and wear a formal dress. I live in Southern California and someone at the craft store was buying orange/red material to put flames in her hair and on her formal dress so she could be "Flaming Malibu Barbie."
Vampire is always easy if you have a black dress, fix up with make up and some of those fangs that go over your real teeth (the ones that look realistic not those crappy ones).
A hippie is easy, bell bottom jeans, get some flip flops and pin a large fake flower on the thong, wrap one of those leather strings around your head and get some round colored glasses, wear a brightly colored shirt.
A hill billy , roll up your jeans to about the knees, wear a tank top and a gingham or flannel shirt tied in a knot at the waist, get a cheap cowboy straw hat wear hair in braids with bows tied at the ends and dot freckles on your cheeks and blacken out one of your front teeth, get a piece of straw to chew on or a tooth pick.

My favorite is simply a gypsy.
Wear a full skirt, a fun tank top or poet shirt, and all the scarfs and costume jewelry you can find.
Make sure to put big hoops in your ears and a kerchief in your hair.
Bright colors are great, and you don't want to match!

if you have these,
-cowboy hat
-blue jeans
-loose nit shirt with light colors
-western boots or any boot really.
-big belt buckle or just a little one.
-working gloves if you want to
you could go as a cowgirl and it would not cost you a single penny. just make sure that you tuck in your shirt and with the boots, tuck in your pant leg, so that the boot shows. also wear a shirt that matches the loose nit shirt. you also can try wearing working gloves. its warm and it matches perfect.also make sure that you can see the belt buckle. if you want to you can even have a southern accent. hope this helped!

I'm going as an art teacher. I will be wearing my most hippy/bohemian clothes with big chunky jewelry and paintbrushes in my hair. I might also wear a paint stained smock/apron

If you happen to have some stale and hard cookies that no one cares to eat, stick them all over on to a white t-shirt with some strong glue, you are Cookie Monster !
Buy some decorative plasters (like bandaid but with variety of designs and colours) and stick them on faces, hands, legs etc, you are Plaster Monster ! (ryhmes too!)

If you can find matching tops and bottoms to form a solid color, use that as a base for any costume! i.e: purple clothing underneath purple balloons pinned on = grapes!

Ooh! Be a tourist! Get a loud hawaiian shirt (if you have one), some shorts that don't match, flip flops (that also don't match), either a baseball cap or a straw hat, and a camera to put around your neck. I was one last year, it was funny!
