As Halloween season approaches, many adults are searching for creative ways to express themselves in their costumes. While many out of the box options exist from department stores, nothing compares to the pride and satisfaction of having a one of a kind costume. With a little creativity, some simple items from home, and a little extra effort, these extraordinary and creative DIY adult Halloween costumes can be yours!
Hippie: Transform into a relationship of 60s rock and roll with a few simple items. Start with some retro pieces to craft your look. Bell-bottom trousers, a peasant blouse, or a vest. Instead of purchasing a headband to complete the look, make your own using an old bandana, ribbon, and feathers. Add some extra flare with a peace-sign necklace and you’ve got it!
Their, There, They’re: Who says a pun isn’t practical? The classic joke of using incorrect grammar to transform into three different people is a great conversation starter. Dress as ‘their’ in a costume that implies ownership such as a king or queen or professor fit with a wand, a crown, and a bejeweled robe. Dress as ‘there’ in any type of costume from mountains to deserts, complete with related accessories. Finally, dress as ‘they’re’ with couple theme clothing, one half the opposite gender of the other.
Cowboy & Sheriff: There’s no need to purchase a costume with this classic western them.You’ll just need two essentials, boots and a hat. For the attire, a simple button-up shirt and denim jeans can complete the cowboy look. To become the sheriff, add a sheriff badge, a vest and a wide-brimmed hat.
US Presidents: This costume requires thought and can be as simple or elaborate as you’d like. An exhaustive variation of presidents could include anything from Washington’s powdered wig and period piece ensembles to Obama’s classic suit and tie. You can assemble the costume using items from home or purchasing pieces of clothing from thrift stores. Or, if breaking the bank is out of the question, simply print out a few pictures of the president and glue them to a t-shirt to rock the costume at the party.
In summary, crafty adults don’t need to break the budget when it comes to getting a costume. A simple creativity and effort can result in an original and extraordinary DIY adult Halloween costume. So this spooky season, get planning and stoking the fires of your imaginative fuels in order to have an unforgettable and unique show stopper costume at the boardwalk!
