We came up with this “Pot Brownie” Couple Costume because we didn’t want the typical slutty costume. We wanted something funny and creative. We got the skirt and shirts from Value Village, bought the socks at Fred Meyer and went to Joanna fabrics and got green and brown fabric and felts. I already wear glasses … Read more
My costume was an incredibly easy and cheap thing to pull off. It’s a clever play on words that you may have to explain to some of your friends who may not be as bright as you. The shirt says “GO CEILINGS” and the sign says “CEILINGS ARE NUMBER 1!” I bought the shirt, hat … Read more
Okay. For our costumes we decided to be holy cows. We came up with the idea because I tend to say holy cow a lot, so we were like hey! Let’s be holy cows. So we did. We bought white leggings, a white shirt, white wings, a white halo, black fabric paint, and black body … Read more
I love the play on words possibility behind “a roll in the hay”. I had two days to get everything and pull off the creation with limited funding! No pressure! I ended up spending $20, half of which was for a can of 3M 77 Adhesive. Many people asked if I had hollowed out a … Read more

My husband had this great last minute idea for our son: Cereal Killer Costume! It was hugely popular and our son thoroughly enjoyed telling the candy givers what he was if they hadn’t already figured it out.

There was a civic strike which affected Garbage pickup when I made this costume. I actually had people ask me who was carrying me! Here is how I made this trash costume: Cut a hole in the back of a garbage can. Leave about a 6” rim at the top so it looks continuous. I … Read more
We loved the deviled egg pun and thought it would be a cute costume! We made this costume by paper macheing the egg on top of a 24″balloon that we bought at a party store. We used 2 parts Elmer’s glue to 1 part water and cut up strips of a old phone book. We … Read more
For Halloween this year my roommate and I had a homemade one night stand couple Halloween costume idea. We started out by making our lampshades to put on our heads like hats. We took 4 sheets of paper and separately folded them in zig-zags, making one end wider between zags to have the smaller ends … Read more
I actually got the idea for this costume from this site! I was really excited, as I’d never made my own costume before. I had an old black dress in the back of my closet, so that became the base. I got thick white pants and thin string from goodwill, and some small bells off … Read more
Our daughter came up with the idea to combine Frankenstein’s monster with Dr. Albert Einstein…and the Homemade Frank Einstein Costume was born!

This year my husband and I went as a ‘Deer Caught in Headlights’. This homemade deer caught in headlights couple costume was perfect, unique, clever, and homemade. To make the Deer, I bought a large, brown long-sleeved T-shirt, some white faux fur at the craft store, and some deer antlers. A little black make-up on … Read more
