Ever play the game “how many angels, demons, cats, and bunnies can we spot” on Halloween? These easy costumes have become the go-to for women across the nation. Ladies – let’s step up our game. Below is a list of fun, creative costumes that are still easy to make! Fly solo or grab a friend to do a BFF costume!
Costumes for One
A Sim (or two!)
The easiest costume ever. Where whatever clothes you like with a green diamond made of construction paper attached to headband. Click here for a tutorial on how to make one.
Boo from Monsters, Inc.
Pink shirt, purple leggings, pigtails, and you’re set! Plus you’re basically wearing pajamas as a costume, which is a huge bonus.
The Morton Salt Girl
All you need for this cute look is an umbrella, a yellow dress and shoes, and white tights! And if it rains, you won’t get wet (fashionable and functional? Yes, please). Having an actual jar of Morton Salt and a blonde bob is preferable, but not required for the reference to land.
Snow White
Have a yellow dress but not into the Morton Salt Girl? Throw a blue top or cardigan over it, add a red lip, and carry around an apple to be Snow White! A red headband, pumps, and belt are great additions to really class up the costume.
A Scarecrow
The makeup for this costume really makes it non-generic. Go glam, or go gory; it’s up to you! After the makeup, grab your favorite flannel and some jeans or overalls to complete the look.
Costumes for Two
Winnie the Pooh and Piglet
Another pajama-like costume for the win. To create the Piglet look, wear a pink shirt and leggings or tights. The Headband with construction paper ears is a huge plus, as would be pink shoes and the stripes on the shirt! For Pooh Bear, wear a red shirt and yellow leggings or tights. The Hunny pot is made of a trick-or-treat basket that has been painted blue with Hunny written in black paint. This costume is also easy to class up; simply change the shirts to dresses of the according colors!
Oreo (for you and your other half!)
Some white shirts and a bit of arts-and-crafts action are all you need for this cute friends costume. Make the cookie from cardboard cut into a circle that’s been painted brown with the appropriate design in a lighter shade. Wear it like a backpack with some white string!
Mike and Sully from Monsters, Inc.
T-shirts and felt shapes make for a simple and cute costume for you and a friend. Add leggings in green and blue for extra pop (but mostly just to be warm and comfy, let’s be real). Bonus: find another friend to dress as Boo for a trio costume!
Mia Thermopolis and Lilly Moscovitz from The Princess Diaries
I saved the best for last, folks. Drag out the old school uniforms and the teasing comb to go as Mia Thermopolis pre-transformation and her best friend Lilly Moscovitz. Bonus points if you shove an ice cream cone in a bully’s face.
