5 DIY Halloween Costumes

It’s finally October! Which I automatically associate with carving pumpkins, eating candy corn, and starting to plan out my Halloween costumes! Costumes can be really expensive, especially in Bloomington, where you need to have three different costumes for each night of the weekend! I’ve put together a list of DIY costumes that are easy to make and won’t drain your bank account!
1) Dancing Girls Emoji

What you Need:
-Black leotard
-Black ribbon
-Headband
-Tights

This one is super easy to do; all you need to do is find someone to be the other dancing girl! And, of course, you have to take the iconic pic.



2) Greek Goddess

What you Need:
-White dress or bedsheet
-Tons of gold jewelry

I’m not sure how this would fair at the bars (wearing white is already scary), but it would be perfect for a Halloween party! You can either make a toga out of a bed sheet or wear a long white dress! All you have to do is accessorize with lots of gold jewelry and make sure to do a huge cat eye!
3) Hogwarts Student

What you Need:
-Grey skirt
-White collared shirt
-Sweater vest (opt)
-Wand
-Tie

This one may be a little harder to execute, but I’ve found many tutorials on how to make wands out of kabob sticks, hot glue, and paint. As for the tie, all you need is to find a tie with red and gold, yellow and black, blue and silver, or green and silver, depending on what house you’re in!
4) Rosie the Riveter

What you Need:
-Red bandana
-Red lipstick
-Denim shirt

Probably one of the easiest (and cutest) costumes! Throw your hair into a quick messy bun or chignon, tie a bandana on top, wear red lipstick, roll up your sleeve, and take the pic! Easy, classy, and cute!

5) A Spy

What you Need:
-All black clothing
-Tall black boots

All you have to do for this costume is raid your closet of all your black clothes! Extra points if you can find some type of earpiece. And leather, of course.

That’s all for this week! Let me know in the comments if you plan on trying any of these costumes for Halloween! Happy costuming!


Until next time!
