So, you want a killer costume for Halloween or another event, but you're not very crafty? Trying for something people will talk about, but don't have a very big budget, or a lot of time? I can relate. Some of my favorite costumes were cobbled together using what I had at home, or a quick trip to a second hand store for a few items.
So, to help you out, since I'm so nice, I've cobbled together five quick and easy costumes that even those who aren't very crafty can make. They don't cost much, and they can be put together pretty quickly.
1. Doctor or Surgeon. Hit up the second hand store and look for either a set scrubs, or a white lab coat. If you manage a white lab coat, check around and see if you can find a real or toy stethoscope at the second hand store. If not, hit up your local big box and look for one in the toy section. If you managed to score scrubs, head to your local big box store, and pick up a disposable paper mask, and some rubber gloves. Now you have a quick costume that's not uncomfortable.
2. Flasher: Visit the second hand store and pick up an inexpensive overcoat, something that falls to your knees or lower. Then, depending on how detailed you want to get, you can either wear underwear only, and flash people, or wear shorts and a t shirt underneath. Bonus option: find a flesh coloured leotard (second hand stores usually have them) and find a speedo or some other form of underwear. It'll give your friends a real shock when you flash them.
3. Cereal Killer. Either buy a pack of those little cereal boxes, or grab a couple big boxes from home. Find some plastic knives, and stick at least one knife into each cereal box. Use some red paint, and paint drips down the boxes and is on the knives. Attach them to your clothes, big safety pins will work. Consider taking the bags of cereal out of the boxes before attaching, they can weigh your costume down.
4. Mario. Why not choose Mario from Super Mario Brothers? Buy overalls, a red turtleneck, white gloves, and a red baseball cap or trucker hat at a second hand store. Paint a white circle with a red M on the hat. Then, find a fake mustache (check the toys sections or Halloween section at your local big box store). Quick, and will make people think you're more creative and crafty than you might actually be.
5. Washed up Suerphero. Not a fit and trim as you'd like to be? Consider being a washed up super hero. Decide which one you want to be, and dress in tops and bottoms that are in the same colour as their costume. Sweats are a good option, as they come in all colours and can be purchased cheaply at the second hand store. Paint your super hero's logo on your shirt, and if they have a cape, attach a yard or so of fabric in the right colour to the collar. If you want to look out of shape, stuff a pillowcase full of newspaper, and then slip it under your shirt to create a paunchy stomach.
If you're really not the crafty type, then you might consider purchasing a ready made costume. Thor costumes for men and woman, and Sif costumes for women will be really hot this year, with the 2011 movie coming out at the beginning of movie season.
