Not ready for Halloween? Last minute ideas!


Need Quick Costumes?

Foam boards: Staple material and felt to foam boards to make any costume you can imagine.


Laundry basket: cut the bottom out of a laundry basket, fashion suspenders using material, rope or whatever you have. Pin socks and clothing to your shirt.


PJ's : dress in your cutest pajamas put your hair in curlers or use strips of cloth grab a doll or teddy bear and a blanket.


Robot: Glue tin foil to a box to make a quick robot outfit. Don't forget antennas.


Swashbuckler: dress in sweats wrap material around waist and across chest and add a toy sword. Don't forget the swashbuckling makeup!


Ninja: take a black t-shirt put the head hole over you eyes tie the arms behind the head and adjust 'till you can only see the ninja's eyes.


Scarecrow: pin small pieces of material to jeans and flannel shirt. Stuff all pockets with raffia, straw or dandelions. Wear a floppy hat and add triangle nose with makeup.

Little Red Riding Hood: This costume only needs a red blanket worn over the head and pinned under the chin to make a hood and a basket for Grandma.

Ghost: the old fashion bed sheet ghost is still a favorite on Halloween!

Quick decor ideas:



Paper doll ghosts from felt and trash bag ghosts make great out door decorations. Or try stuffing a pair of jeans and shirt with newspaper and wrapping it with strips of material to make a zombie with a pumpkin head. Green apples and squash make quick holiday table decorations.

Didn't have a chance to carve a pumpkin? Hollow it out fill it with canned chili to make a fun holiday meal.
