6 Last-Minute DIY Halloween Costume Ideas:

1. Scarecrow: For this easy Halloween costume, all you need is a plaid shirt, jeans, boots, and a sun hat and you’ll quickly transform into a friendly autumn scarecrow. Assorted flowers and straw add an optional finishing touch.
2. Minion: Bello! By now, it’s impossible not to love these little yellow guys. Now you can be one yourself with the help of a yellow t-shirt, jeans (or overalls), black suspenders, black gloves, and a yellow beanie. Watch our free video tutorial to learn how to use black pipe cleaners for Minion hair, and how ridiculously easy it is to make your Minion eyes with goggles and mason jars.
3. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle: We can’t promise that this easy Halloween costume will give you real Turtle Power, but we can ensure that you will be the hit of any Halloween party you attend this year. Use a foil baking pan and green spray paint to make a DIY turtle shell, and cut up an old t-shirt for your mask (you can use light blue, red, purple, or yellow, depending on which Turtle you want to be).
4. 
   Pirate: Ahoy, matey! Grab a plain white t-shirt, black pants/jeans, boots, a red scarf, and a red bandana; you’ll be looking just like Captain Jack Sparrow in no time! Take your DIY Halloween costume up a notch with a black eye-patch.
5. Stick Figure: Turn yourself into a stick figure with white pants, a long-sleeved white shirt, and some black electrical tape. Use a white paper plate for your face by drawing a smile and cutting out two holes for your eyes. LED lights are optional 🙂
6. Bunch of Grapes: This might be one of the funniest homemade Halloween costume ideas ever, and all you need is a handful of purple balloons and some safety pins! Complete the look with a green leaf (real or fake).
