These ideas are things that really, anyone can make, no matter your artistic/crafty ability.

-Minnie Mouse or Micky Mouse
Cute Halloween costumes inspired by classic Mickey and Minnie… the cutest mice around! For BOTH: Any combination of black and red clothes will work. Find mouse ears at a local dollar store. If you don’t have a nose, you can use black body paint to paint one on! Living so close to Disneyland, the chances of you or someone you know, having a pair of ears for you to wear are very good!
-Kate Middleton
Go classy for Halloween in a blue frock and matching felt hat inspired by the real-life Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge.

-A Bank Robber
A striped shirt, a dark beanie (eye cutouts to wear as a mask), and gloves are you need for a robber costume. Grab a cheap bag at a discount store and add a $dollar sign$ to it to take your costume even further and hold all of your things for the evening!
-A “ceiling” fan
Use a sharpie to write "Go Ceiling" on a t-shirt. Bring along some pom-poms or a foam finger to complete the look.
--- DIY COUPLES COSTUMES ---
-Bob Ross and a happy little tree (Or a painting!)
*For Bob: A part of jeans, a button-up long sleeved shirt, and a large (afro-style) wig! Add a palette (can make out of cardboard) and paint brush, and you’re all set!
*For the happy little tree: Use a brown dress from your closet (or check the thrift store, then grab some strands of artificial leaves (most dollar stores will have them) and pin them to the dress! Decorate a hat with some leaves, too, so your head is covered in foliage!
*For a painting: Either get a canvas from a craft store and create a landscape painting on it, then cut a hole through for your face), OR check out a thrift store for a pice of a artwork that can be easily cut to make a place for your face!
-Soap and Loofah
Couples costumes that are nothing but nice, clean fun! For Him: Although you could create a soap sign to wear, to make it easier, use a white T-shirt and write ‘Soap’ with marker large on the T-shirt. You can add bubbles as well! For Her: To create the loofah look, you will need roughly 16-20 yards of tulle or netting. Using a tight tank top and shorts, dress, leotard or romper and LOTS of safety pins, start wrapping your tulle around your tight apparel and securing it with the pins.

For Him: A brown T-shirt with the emblem of your favorite peanut butter brand taped across the chest. For Her: A purple (for grape flavor) or red (for strawberry or raspberry flavor) T-shirt and your favorite jelly brand taped across your chest. Bam! DIY couples costumes to make everyone hungry and nostalgic.

What classic couples costumes! For Him: Tight black jeans rolled at the bottom and a tight black, tucked in T-shirt. For Her: A knotted white T-shirt and cut off jean shorts. Easy Halloween costumes for adults? Check!
-Danny and Sandy From Grease
You could really replicate a couple of Danny and Sandy’s styles from this movie, but the final scene is such a great one! For Him: Tight black jeans rolled at the bottom, Converse style sneakers, a tight white T-shirt and a black leather jacket. Can’t forget the greasy slicked hair! For Her: Tight leather pants or leggings, hot red heels, and a tight off the shoulder black top! Pretty curls in the hair are a great addition!
-Mario and Luigi
What a cute couple costumes idea! For Mario: A red T-shirt and suspenders. Add a red hat with a white M. For Luigi: A green T-shirt and suspenders. Add a green hat with a white L.

-50 Shades of Grey
Although the featured couple created AH-dorable pieces out of paint chips (which is pretty time-consuming)… you can STILL pull these off as last minute Halloween costumes by just wearing ALL GRAY. Though ideally, if you can run to your local hardware store and pick up a bunch of gray paint chips and recreate the tie and skirt, you are sure to emphasize the fifty shades!
--- DIY GROUP COSTUMES ---
-M&M's
This is perfect for a last minute, group costume idea! Grab a variety of solid- colored shirts and put the letter, "M" on each one!
You can get a white fabric marker for the easiest (and fastest) letter option, buy an iron-on stencil from a craft store, or have someone design them on a vinyl cutting machine (like a Cricut) for the best-looking option and great for long-term use!
-Dominos
Not only is it an easy game to play, it's also an easy costume to make. Just take a black t-shirt and leggings and use a glue gun to glue some white felt circles on your costume. It's as easy as that!
-Soda Bottles
It doesn't matter if you call it soda, pop, or fizz, these soda bottle costumes are adorable and totally attention-grabbing.
-Minions
Who doesn’t love minions? Cute to dress as and easy to make, these costumes are perfect for you and your friends this Halloween!
