NOW: Last-Minute Halloween Costumes

Did you know that most people spend $25 per costume, and upwards of $65-$70 in big cities just to get decked out for Halloween? Well, if you don't want to spend the money AND you've procrastinated and still don't have a costume, have no fear. Check out some of these ideas and links to sites with tons of fab ideas for every age!

COSTUMES IDEAS:
Gift: Take a cardboard box (one that will fit the child or adult; be sure it's above the knees so you can walk). Cut out holes for arms and your head. Cover the box with wrapping paper. Add bows or other details to dress up the gift, and then add a bow on your head. Optional: add a tag that says "God's Give to Men!"

Walk of Shame: Wear an oversize button-down, boxers, and heels. Tease your hair, mess up your makeup, and walk furtively through the party.

Cow-girl: Cute plaid shirt. Cowboy hat. Denim skirt. DONE!

Safari guide: white shirt, plus khaki pants and sneakers or boots. Also throw on a vest and binoculars around your neck. A hat completes the look.

Angel: dress in all white and pit stop at any Halloween store, Target, Walmart, etc. for some wings.

Zombie – Make holes in old clothes and rip edges on sleeves and bottoms of pants. Put some pale make-up on the face, darken the eyes with black eye-liner and use red lipstick to put fake blood around your mouth.

Politico (this is funny): Thanks to the Huffington Post, just get a piece of elastic and print out one of these masks!
