When you get a last minute invitation, or you have put off getting a costume until the last minute, there is often not enough time to go look for the right costume or make something elaborate. It is then that we go scrambling to find something we can put together fast. Here are a few costumes ideas that you can put together easily when you are pinched for time:
1. A Person with Their "Head in the Clouds" - Put all light blue clothing on (grey would work to, I suppose), your top half of your costume would be a hoodie. Glue cotton in clumps all over your hoodie and over the hood. When you have the hoodie up you appear to be a person with your "head in the clouds".
2. The Sexiest Man Alive - Grab a large poster board and cut out a rectangle in the middle for your face. Then process to decorate the rest of the poster as your favorite gossip magazine, naming you as the sexiest man alive. Just grab a past copy of one or look online for an example of what to put on the "cover". You can just dress however you like, and when people ask who you are for Halloween, just hold up the poster board with your face in the featured space -- you are the sexiest man alive!
3. Shooting Star -- All you need is two large poster boards, some string or yarn and a stapler. Cut two large stars out of either white or yellow poster board, staple the yarn or string to the star so that the stars hang over both the front and back sides of your body like a sandwich board. You may also decorate the stars with glitter or anything else you can think of to make your start shine bright. Wear the stars and carry a water pistol to squirt... you are now a shooting star. (Tip: for adults and an appropriate atmosphere, you may substitute a cap gun for the water gun-- it's a little more surprising)
Of course, nothing beats the more elaborate costumes that you can pick up at a store or online, but these are three great ideas when you need a costume in a hurry.
