Did you forget to buy your Halloween costume for the partiy Friday?\u00a0 Or are you looking for a quick and easy costume that won\u2019t burn your pockets?\u00a0 Here are 5 creative, inexpensive costume ideas for both guys and girls! You can add your own personal touch to any of these costumes!\u00a0 Not only are they inexpensive, they are different from your usual costumes.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 Minnie\/Mickey Mouse\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

This costume idea is super cute and playful.\u00a0 First, start off with a plain, black shirt.\u00a0 For girls, you should pair this shirt with a red tutu skirt, ballet flats, and mouse ears with a red polka dot bow.\u00a0 For guys, pair your black shirt with a pair of red shorts or jeans, if it\u2019s chilly, and mouse ears.\u00a0 Don\u2019t forget to add a nose with black face paint!<\/p>\n

2. \u00a0 Scarecrow
\n<\/strong>This is a costume that can work with both guys and girls.\u00a0 You can play it up however you want!\u00a0 All you need is a flannel shirt, jeans or overalls, and a pair of boots.\u00a0 Top off the outfit with a straw hat and stick fake hay you can find at any store in your pockets.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 Hunter\/Deer
\n<\/strong>This is an adorable couple costume or you can just dress up solo!\u00a0 For guys, you just need camouflage gear you can easily find at Wal-Mart.\u00a0 Girls, dress in all brown.\u00a0 You can add a brown tutu, if you would like!\u00a0 Finish the look by creating your own paper deer ears and tail.\u00a0 You can find easy tutorials on Google or Pinterest!<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 Greek god\/goddess\"\"<\/a>
\n<\/strong>This costume is probably as inexpensive as it gets.\u00a0 All you need is a plain, white bed sheet!\u00a0 Wrap it around your body one to two times, twist the remaining fabric into a rope,\u00a0 and wrap it around your waist.\u00a0 Next, bring the rope around the back of your neck to secure the toga.\u00a0 You can search for easy toga tutorials on YouTube!\u00a0 Finish this look with sandals and gold accessories.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0 Robber
\n<\/strong>Student loans getting you down?\u00a0 Dress up as a robber for Halloween!\u00a0 (Please don\u2019t attempt at actually robing a bank,though.). All you need for this look is a black and white striped shirt with black pants.\u00a0 Accessorize with a black skull cap, eye mask, and gloves.\u00a0 An added bonus would be to carry a plain, white drawstring bag with a dollar sign printed on it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
