Our friends at Patch, compiled the following ideas if your kids are left without suitable Trick-or-Treat attire.
- A Little Bearded Garden Gnome - Your kids may already have the clothes. You'll just need to make a simple hat and beard.
- Bag of Jelly Beans - You'll need a clear trash bag and set of strong lungs to make this sweet costume
- Quarterback - This punny costume is quick and easy to make.
- Spaghetti and Meatballs - Use a red and white tablecloth and a pot to make this saucy costume.
- Lego - This costume is easy to build using a cardboard box, paper bowls and spray paint.
- Baby Octopus - A great way to use those mismatched socks left in the dryer.
If you're ready to get in on the action, some of our favorite (read: quick and easy) last minute costume ideas for adults include:
- Wrapping yourself in wrapping paper with a tag: "From: God, To: Women". What are you? God's gift to women.
- Attaching suger-cubes (or candy) all over yourself. What are you? Sugar-Daddy or Sugar-Momma.
- Donning an old Ivy League college sweatshirt found at the Goodwill, and when asked, "What are you," you respond, "Smarter than you."
- Wrapping yourself in aluminum foil to become a baked potato!
And last, but certainly not least, male or female, we're pretty sure that a leprechaun would make the best Halloween costume of all!
Happy Haunting!
