Incarceration Disney Princesses 

My friends and I did this for Halloween last year and had an absolute BLAST! This is another super easy costume to do and, there are so many princesses you can choose from! I did Belle and looked for yellow dresses that would fit her vibe. You can easily find any color dress that goes with each princess. To make this costume come alive you can get a simple crown to add to your costume!

Red Rose Incarceration Signs  (you can print these out on printer paper and poke holes through the top two corners and tie string around)

Boxer

Being a boxer for Halloween might be the easiest last minute costume. A lot of the costume pieces you may have in your closet. Adding two dutch or french braids for a hairstyle could pull the costume all together. Making this the best last minute/cheapest Halloween costume!
