Looking for a clever Halloween costume? Here are four ideas that might inspire you.
The first idea is to dress up as a skeleton. You can easily make a skeleton costume by wearing all black and applying white tape to your clothes to create the illusion of bones. If you are feeling creative and would like to buy a costume, search for “skeleton costume” online. In addition to finding skeleton costumes, your online search will also provide you with inspiration for making your own skeleton costume.
Another idea is to dress up as a witch or wizard. To dress as a witch or wizard, wear a black hat and cape and carry an item that symbolizes magic. For example, you might use a magic wand, spell book, or cauldron filled with candy corn (the candy of the season!).
A third idea is to dress up as an animal such as a cat or dog. With this idea, wear items such as ears, tails, or face paint that symbolize the animal of your choice. If you want to take this idea one step further, research facts about your animal and prepare lines of dialogue that you can recite while trick-or-treating or attending Halloween parties. For example, if you choose to dress up as a cat and someone asks about
One of the best things about Halloween is the opportunity to dress up. Although adults may enjoy dressing up as much as children, we don’t always have the time or budget for elaborate costumes. If you’re looking for an easy costume you can put together at the last minute, take a look at these options:
Skeleton
The best thing about choosing a skeleton costume is that you can use clothes you already have on hand. Just dress yourself in black and white clothes and paint your face with black and white makeup.
Ghost
Another classic Halloween costume, a ghost requires nothing more than a sheet with two holes cut out for your eyes. You could also accessorize by carrying around a paring knife or some other type of weapon, if you’re feeling bloodthirsty.
Witch
Similar to the skeleton costume, dressing up like a witch is easy if you have clothes in shades of purple, green and black. Use face paint or makeup to add green skin and a wart on your nose, and top it off with a pointy hat. You’ll want to carry around a broomstick or some other kind of weapon as an accessory.
Resident Evil zombie

1. Skeleton: It’s pretty easy to make a skeleton costume. First, cut two triangles out of white cardboard to make your ribs. Then cut out a big circle from the same cardboard and paint it white. Tape the ribs onto the circle. After that, get some black felt and cut it into strips for your spine and bone shapes for your arms and legs. Once you’ve done all that, glue or tape the bones onto your skeleton body (the white circle). Finally, put on a black sweatshirt and sweatpants if you have them (if not, wear any dark clothes you can find) and secure the skeleton body over top with safety pins so you won’t lose it while you’re trick-or-treating!
2. Ghost: A ghost costume is even easier than a skeleton costume because all you need is an old white sheet. First, cut two holes in the sheet for your eyes. Then cut out a mouth area so you will be able to see where you are going and talk to people when they answer their doorbells. If you like, use black felt to make teeth or use glow-in-the-dark paint to draw teeth around the mouth opening.
3. Vampire: A vampire costume doesn’t take much more

The Skeleton
The skeleton is a classic Halloween costume. It’s cheap, easy to make, and recognizable. But what if you want your skeleton to be more than the average skeleton? What if you want it to be your skeleton?
Here are four simple tips for making a skeleton costume that looks like you.
1.Create the bones with XL cardboard sheets. The best way to do this is by tracing your body on the floor with chalk and then cutting out pieces of cardboard that match the shape of your limbs, neck, ribs, and so on. Use duct tape to hold the pieces in place over your clothes.
2.Add details with smaller pieces of cardboard and more duct tape. For example, you can add kneecaps or a spine by cutting out smaller shapes and taping them onto the main pieces of cardboard. If you have extra cardboard, cut out individual vertebrae and tape them together into a long strip that runs down your back under your shirt. You can also use smaller pieces to make skull teeth or collarbones or finger bones or toe bones.
3.Paint the bones white, then paint thin black lines along the edges of each piece of cardboard to give it depth (and make it look more like bone). Paint small
I’m going to a party Saturday night and I need to come up with a costume. I don’t want to be one of those people that waits until 5 minutes before the party to put something together.
I’m too old for the sheet-with-two-holes-for-eyes trick. It’s not worth it anymore.
For years I’ve been wanting to do the skeleton costume, but I’ve never gotten around to it. Here’s how you make a skeleton costume:
You need two things: white clothes and glow in the dark paint (or tape).
The first step is to put on your white clothes. You can use either a long sleeved shirt or a short sleeved shirt. Same thing with pants or shorts. Whatever you prefer. Just make sure they’re white.
Next, get some glow in the dark paint or some glow in the dark tape and outline every bone on your body (rib cage, spine, arms, legs, hands, feet, etc.).
That’s it! You’re done! Now when someone takes a picture of you at the party with flash photography you’ll look like a skeleton!
