Easy to Make Halloween Costumes for Non-Crafty People

Mail Order Bride: Wear an old wedding dress and veil. Go to your local post office and get a variety of mailing labels and large stamps and attach them to your clothes. Make a purse out of a large mailing envelope. This is an easy costume to make at home – but make sure you aren’t wearing a wedding dress that isn’t yours! That is, get permission first.

Martha Stewart: Wear a flannel shirt in pastel colors over a t-shirt, with loose khaki pants and comfortable flat shoes. Stuff gardening gloves in your pocket and wear an apron. Carry a fancy lined basket with fresh muffins and cookies inside. Handcuffs optional.

Medicine Chest: Wear white clothing, and hot glue items you would find in your medicine cabinet (q-tips, band-aids, cotton balls, comb, medicine bottles, disposable razor, toothbrush, etc.).  This is one of the easiest Halloween costumes you can make at home.

Medusa: Get some type of hat that fits securely on your head. Buy some fake rubber snakes and attach them all over the hat. Wear all black clothes and paint your face green. You may not be able to make the snakes at home, but the rest of this Halloween costume is easy for even non-crafty people.

Mona Lisa: Wear all black clothes, no make-up and a very long, straight, black wig. Carry around an empty picture frame. If anyone asks who you are, hold up the frame and give a mysterious smile.

Ms. Canada: Wear a plaid shirt with jeans (to look like a lumber jack) and have the sash that says Ms. Canada. This Halloween costume is easy for Canadians to make at home!

Mrs. Potato Head: Use brown felt to make yourself into a potato, wear white leggings, turtleneck and gloves underneath, with red clown shoes. Make up some felt body parts (eyes, lips, etc., and attach Velcro everyone will be able to play with your parts!).

Mummy-To-Be: Wear all-white clothes, and add padding to your belly to look pregnant (even better if you actually ARE pregnant). Then wrap yourself in gauze to look like a mummy. Paint your face with white paint and add black all around your eyes.

Old Bag: Take a large garbage bag, cut holes for your legs and arms and climb into it. Tie it around your neck. Then add a grey wig, use make-up to create wrinkles, and carry a cane.

Outlaw Poster: Get a large piece of cardboard, stained yellowish-white, and cut a circle for your face. Write “WANTED” above your head in large Western-print letters (or use a computer to print out the letters). Underneath, come up with an old Western nickname, like “Slick Samuel” or something. Write a reward for $100. Dress up in a cowboy outfit, with a fake mustache. Attach a stick to the cardboard so you can carry it in front of your face. This may not be the easiest Halloween costume to make at home, but it’s fun and creative!
