As Halloween is quickly approaching, everybody is beginning to think about what to wear as a costume. But if you can\u2019t find a lot of money or ideas, don\u2019t worry! I\u2019m here to bring you 30 easy DIY Halloween costumes you can make yourself while staying under budget.<\/p>\n

DIY Halloween Costumes with a partner or alone:<\/h2>\n

1.\u00a0Ron Burgundy<\/h3>\n

Of course, a classic for all the guys out there. All you need is a burgundy (or any colour on the red spectrum) suit, and a fake moustache and you\u2019re all set. And if you have a special lady, you can have your very own Veronica Corningstone! Stay classy, Halloween.<\/p>\n

2. Damian from Mean Girls<\/em><\/h3>\n

Easy, comfy, and funny \u2013 what more could you want in a costume?<\/p>\n

3. Sugar Skull<\/h3>\n

This idea is perfect for those who want to focus more on the makeup and less on the costume. Some beautiful skull makeup and a flower crown or clip are all you need for this look.<\/p>\n

4. Football Player<\/h3>\n

Heels aren\u2019t necessary for this costume, but a jersey definitely is. Grab your favourite team\u2019s jersey and some black paint for your cheeks and you\u2019re instantly a football player.<\/p>\n

5. God\u2019s Gift to Women<\/h3>\n

Whether you wear this costume as a joke or in all seriousness, this is definitely a confidence booster among all the guys out there \u2013 even though some may not need one.<\/p>\n

6. Gumball Machine<\/h3>\n

Grab a hot glue gun and a giant collection of pompoms – or actual gumballs, if you’re feeling adventurous – and go to town on this costume.<\/p>\n

7. Instagram<\/h3>\n

If you think your Instagram selfies are always on point, why not be a walking, talking selfie this Halloween?<\/p>\n

8. Bag of Jelly Beans<\/h3>\n

This is perhaps one of the cheapest costumes to do yourself. All you need are small balloons, a clear trash bag, and a red ribbon to complete this look.<\/p>\n

9. Stick Figure<\/h3>\n

A paper plate and some electrical tape is all you need to become a stick figure.<\/p>\n

10. Minnie Mouse<\/h3>\n

You don\u2019t need to go to Disneyland to know how to complete this iconic costume. Pair a red tutu with some Minnie Mouse ears and you\u2019re all set.<\/p>\n

11. Red Coat from Pretty Little Liars<\/h3>\n

This PLL classic is by far one of the simplest DIY costumes because there\u2019s only one requirement \u2013 a red trench coat.<\/p>\n

12. Scarecrow<\/h3>\n

This Halloween classic can be reinvented with a pair of blue jeans, a beige hat, some makeup, and that one flannel shirt that I\u2019m pretty sure almost everybody owns.<\/p>\n

13. TY Beanie Baby<\/h3>\n

Just throw on that animal onesie that you\u2019ve been dying to go out in, make yourself a TY tag, and you are now a Beanie Baby.<\/p>\n

14. Wednesday from The Addams Family<\/h3>\n

This costume can be recreated with generally any black clothing with a white collared shirt underneath. But don\u2019t forget the braids and straight face, the most important costume requirements.<\/p>\n

15. Where\u2019s Waldo<\/h3>\n

This costume can be done individually or as a group. Just grab a red striped shirt and a red hat and you are now the new Waldo.<\/p>\n

\n<\/h6>\n

 <\/p>\n

DIY Halloween\u00a0costumes for couples and groups:<\/h2>\n

16. Danny and Sandy from Grease<\/h3>\n

This old school Grease classic is a great couple\u2019s costume. Get out those tight black clothes and your dancing feet and you\u2019ll be the hottest couple at Rydell High.<\/p>\n

17. Mario and Luigi<\/h3>\n

This is another iconic couple DIY that can\u2019t go wrong. You and your partner will have everyone wondering where the rest of the Mario group is.<\/p>\n

18. Netflix and Chill<\/h3>\n

This play on such a common phrase is very refreshing and fun. This DIY is so easy you could probably watch Netflix while putting your costume together. And it\u2019s so comfy, too!<\/p>\n

19. Salt and Pepper<\/h3>\n

What goes together better than salt and pepper? Probably nothing, which is why this is the perfect couple\u2019s DIY.<\/p>\n

20. 3 Blind Mice<\/h3>\n

This lovely trio can be recreated with many different variations of clothing, however, the three main accessories are: the mouse ears, the dark sunglasses, and the sticks.<\/p>\n

21. Alvin and the Chipmunks<\/h3>\n

Whether this is recreated with males or females, this trio is always fun to DIY with your friends.<\/p>\n

22. Candy Hearts<\/h3>\n

This DIY can be done with as little or as many friends as you\u2019d like. The variations for the Candy Heart costume are endless.<\/p>\n

23: KISS<\/h3>\n

This is your chance to be recognized as members of one of the most legendary rock bands. All it takes is some intense makeup and leather!<\/p>\n

l
\n<\/h6>\n

 <\/p>\n

24. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles<\/h3>\n

Round up your favourite group of four, pick your turtle, and transform into a ninja. The DIY hack for the turtle shell is to use an aluminum baking tray and string it with shoelaces.<\/p>\n

25. Social Media<\/h3>\n

If you are running out of time and ideas, this is a great go-to DIY costume. Round up a few friends, pick your favourite social media, and you have an instant costume.<\/p>\n

26. Superheroes<\/h3>\n

Whether you are Batman, Superman, or Spiderman, any superhero will do just fine. Grab your superhero coloured tutu and a shirt with their logo on it and you can feel just like them for the day.<\/p>\n

27. Cards<\/h3>\n

Grab your favourite group of gals, some white tank tops, some markers, and you all can turn into a sexy deck of cards.<\/p>\n

28. m&m\u2019s<\/h3>\n

This is another great group costume, as long as everybody wears a different coloured shirt. After all, you can\u2019t just have one kind of m&m.<\/p>\n

29. Dominos<\/h3>\n

This is a fun DIY if coordinated with a large group. All you need are black clothes and white fabric to put this one together.<\/p>\n

30. Emojis<\/h3>\n

This final costume can be done as an individual or as a group. Pick your favourite emoji (which is going to be hard, I know) and showcase it with a group of friends. This costume will keep you and your friends laughing all day.<\/p>\n
