Halloween is the perfect excuse to get decked out in glitter, crazy colors and all sorts of fabrics. Dressing up is a fun experience but deciding what to wear can be a struggle especially if you waited last minute to figure out what to wear. There is no need to break the bank this Halloween on your costume. Here are a few options you can make at home if you need a last-minute DIY costume idea.

Basically, all you need for this costume is black clothing. Black pants, shoes and a black top along with some black face paint will give you an effortless ninja look. You can include a sword if you happen to have one on hand but otherwise, this is a pretty self-explanatory outfit to blend in with the night on Halloween.

If you have any gingham dresses left over from summer, you can reuse them for a Dorothy costume! Substituting it with a blue and white striped or blue dress will also work just fine. Style the dress with a pair of red sneakers, heels or flats, throw your hair in braids and carry a stuffed dog around with you for the night.

Transform your favorite dress into a princess costume by adding a tiara and wearing glittery makeup. Any ribbon, costume jewelry, sparkly or colorful heels you have on hand with also add a nice touch.
Animal

The black cat is one of the most common Halloween costumes but there are plenty of other animals to choose from. The deer costume is one of the most popular Halloween costumes nowadays and the makeup is neutral and easy to apply. This look doesn’t require much besides makeup and a brown or tan outfit.

Take your best white, cream or ivory dress and turn it into a Greek goddess costume. This is one of the most minimal looks because it only requires a dress, gold or sparkly makeup and a pair of sandals. You can also wear a flower or gold leaf crown if you prefer for an added detail.

If you have a plaid shirt lying around, you’re already halfway there with this look. Style the plaid top with a jean skirt or pair of jeans, high socks and cowboy boots for an effortless scarecrow look. Add some makeup for the finishing touch!

This look is easy and can be styled in more than one way. Start by taking a striped shirt of your choice and pair it with either black or normal jeans. Tie a neck-scarf or bandana around your neck and add a beret if possible!

This costume requires the same clothing elements as the French girl costume. Wear the striped shirt and jeans but this time, put your hair in a braid and tie the bandana to your head. Feel free to include an eyepatch if you wish!

For this costume, you can also wear a black outfit. A black dress, skirt or pair of pants and a top is a great start, then add a pair of fangs and makeup that resembles blood. Depending on how daring you are, you are can wear ghostly white face makeup to get the full effect.

It’s not uncommon to see people dress up as different forms of food like burgers, donuts, mac and cheese and more! All of these costumes can be made at home with a little creativity and some extra materials like old t-shirts and construction paper just lying around.
