Halloween is right around the corner and most of us have no idea what to be for Halloween. Here are some ideas we came up with, the Top 10 Halloween Costumes on a Budget.
Enjoy!

1. Nerd - pants that are too small, shirt buttoned up wrong, hair slicked back, old pair of glasses with tape, white socks, BIG book to carry under arm.
2. Tourist - loud clothes, camera, hat, maps sticking out of every pocket, use your imagination.
3.The little old lady or man - dress accordingly in an older man's (a suit is great) or woman's clothing. A hat is a nice touch. If you don't have a real walking cane you can substitute an appropriate size stick. Add some creative face painting with lots of wrinkles of course. Be sure to add the cracking voice and a prominent limp.
4. Kissing Booth - Find a box big enough to fit over your body. Cut or open the bottom and top of the box so that you can slip into the box. Tie rope onto one end of the box so the ropes can go over your shoulders (this will hold the box on you). Wear sexy clothes and have lipstick kisses on your clothes and face. On the box write “Kisses, $1.00.”
5.Stood-Up Prom Date - Great for women but really funny for men who want to dress as a woman. Wear a prom dress, heels and make-up. Smudge eye-make up so it looks like you have been crying. Carry a box of tissues and have several tissues tucked into your waist sash, sticking out of your bodice, or anywhere you can stash one.
Unique Costumes on a Budget
1. Tornado - Wear all black or gray clothing. Sew strings of varying lengths all over your outfit. On the ends of the string, tie on tiny houses, people, cars, animals, etc. When people ask what you are, spin around fast and make sounds like a tornado. 2. Leaf Blower - Wear regular clothes. Wear a hat with a leaf hanging down from the rim so that the leaf is in front of your face. When people ask what you are blow on the leaf and make them guess.
3.In the Shower - Wrap a towel around your body (wearing a tube top and shorts under the towel is optional). Wrap a towel around your head turban style or wear a shower cap. Carry a rubber duck and a back scrubber.
4. Cupid - Best for large guys, but funny for anyone. Wear a diaper or toga, wings, and buy one of those cheap bow and arrows with the suction cups. Attach paper hearts to the suction cup end. Wear a ribbon sash that says “Cupid
5. TJ Tequila Man or Woman - buy a cheap bottle of tequila put a spout on bottle, have a whistle around neck, and a rag on your arm. Go up to your friends whistling the whistle and poor a shot of tequila in their mouth shake their head and use the rag to wipe spilled tequila off face.
Have a safe and happy Halloween!
