Homemade DIY Individual Food Halloween Costumes:

Baked Potato - Stuff your clothes with pillows for width and wrap yourself in tinfoil to make yourself a baked potato! Carry around a bottle of bacon bits.

Banana - Need a really last minute food costume? Dress yourself in yellow and print out or make a banana sticker to pin on your clothes.

Fruit Tree - Wear brown pants and a green long sleeve shirt. Attach fake or real fruits like apples to your shirt and torso (not so many that you can't move around).

Grapes - This is possibly the easiest costume ever! Blow up a lot of purple or green balloons and attach them to your green clothes.

Gummy Worm - Wear one shade on top and one on the bottom for the duotone gummy worm look (maybe even match a hat to the top shade). Squiggle around like a gummy worm all night.

Jelly Beans - This costume also uses balloons. Blow up multiple different color balloons. Put them under a clear plastic garbage bag or a dry cleaners bag with two leg holes cut at the top (the hanger side) that will keep them close to your body. On the bag tape a Jelly Belly sign.

Mushroom - Dress in all brown. Find a large brown hat in a mushroom or just big and floppy shape. Cut out and attach colored circles to make you look like a huge mushroom!

Soda Can - Use a round barrel and cut a hole in the bottom and holes for your arms and head then paint it the colors of a soda pop can.

Homemade DIY Group Food Halloween Costumes:

If you have a group of friends dressing up together for Halloween you can create some really fun food costumes together. Any of the above items can be done by multiple friends, for example several of you can dress up as bananas and go as a bunch.

Or you can dress up as individual items like a baked potato and friends - Create the baked potato costume and then have one friend dressed completely in white with a sign that says "sour cream" and one friend dressed in yellow with a sign that says "butter."
