13 Amazing Costume Ideas for Halloween! by Stella Roop, Sarah Tate, and Aubrey Olson

Holy Guacamole

For this amazing costume you will need to get a green or white shirt/dress and some felt (dark green, lime green, and a brown). After this step, you’ll want to cut out a dark green avocado shaped piece of felt, then cut out a smaller lime green piece, then cut out a small brown circle as the ‘pit’ of the avocado, then sew/hot glue the felt pieces together (I would recommend looking up an avocado picture as a reference). Then sew on as many avocados as you would like to the green/white shirt/dress! Pair the costume with an angel halo and wings that you can find at any party store! And there you have a Holy Guacamole costume!


Jellybean Bag.

For this sweet costume you will need to get a CLEAR trash bag and cut holes for your arms and legs (make sure that it is not loose but not too tight either). Next, tape jelly belly logo to the inside of the bag facing out using clear tape. Then get a pack of small colorful balloons and fill the bag up with them. Finally tie up the bag with a ribbon. DO NOT tie it tight just tight enough that it will not fall down. Enjoy your jellybean bag costume!


Stick Man

All you need for this costume is white pants, white jacket, any color electric tape, sharpie, string, and a plate! So you want to put the tape on to where a stick mans legs and arms would be, and then take a plate and a sharpie and draw a smiley face on it. After that you would put to holes through the plate so you can thread string and tie the string so it fits on your head. Then cut out eye holes and you’re done! The good thing about this costume is that you can take off the tape when you are done so you can wear the jacket and pants after Halloween!


Pig in a Blanket

All you need for this is a blanket,cardboard, safety pins, and some pink paint or markers. First you want to cut out a circle from cardboard, Then you want to paint/color the nose pink but leave 2 holes for the nostrils  After that tape it or string it to your nose. You can buy the ears at a party store or get them online for a couple of dollars, same with the nose but it is completely optional. After all of that you want to rap a blanket (preferably pink or around that color) around you and pin it up. This is optional but pare it with black leggings. Enjoy your time trick or treating with this easy halloween costume!!
