Daisy Duke Halloween Costume

This fun costume is easier than you think to prepare. The best part is the hair style, makeup, and funky clothing. Get ready to have a lot of winks and stares.

What you need:

Short Shorts

Heavy Duty Make Up

Flannel Shirt

Tank Top

Straw Hat

Cowboy Boots

Directions:

First you want to create your short shorts. Take any old pair of shorts and cut them shorter than shorter. Only you can know how short you want to go on the Daisy Duke Shorts. Now put on your tank top and flannel shirt. You can choose not to wear a tank top, this is totally optional. I like to go with a particular theme or color. Daisy Duke was always cuter than ever, so make sure you are color coordinating your outfit.

Only button a few buttons and then take each side of the shirt and tie into a knot. You can do this or just tie both sides into one knot. Take your choice; both options are cute. Your outfit is almost complete. Add a straw hat for a cute finish. Slip on your cowboy boots and you have the cutest outfit around.

When you apply your make-up, make sure you go heavier than usual. You really want to have a photo finish so go heavy on your base, blush, eyeliner, and mascara. Your hair can be done in multiple ways. Either create curls using a curling iron or throw your hair into pigtails. Either look is cute. I hope you enjoy your Daisy Duke Halloween costume.

Trash Bag Halloween Costume

What you need:

Trash Bag

Glue

Leaves (real or fake)

Scissors

Directions:

Take a large black bad that has a draw string as this makes the easiest costume. Glue some leaves on all over the black plastic bag. This will be the outside of the trash bag costume. Now cut out two holes in the bottom of the trash bag which will be for the legs. The last thing is stepping into the trash bag. For a final finish, stuff leaves inside the trash bag until it begins to fill out. The bag should be full around you. Pull the string and tie a knot to ensure that the trash bag stays intact. You've just created a quick and easy Halloween costume for women.

Old is Back Halloween Costume

What you need:

Old Dress

Old Shoes

Hair Bows

Old Hats

Directions:

This is an easy DIY costume that anyone can create. The effect is going into an old trunk and pulling out the oldest clothes you can fine. This costume needs to be the oldest clothes you can find. They don't have to match. Try to find an old dress, old shirts, old shoes, old hair bows, etc. The more mismatched the better. This DIY costume will be as funky as it will be fun to create. Have fun and create a quirky costume.

Bubble Gum Halloween Costume

Who doesn't love bubble gum? This pink costume will be the talk of every Halloween party you attend. The Bubble Gum costume is great for Halloween or every day parties. This costume is so fun that you will want to have this one on hand throughout the year.

What you need:

Pink Hair Dye (Use one that washes out!)

Pink Outfit (Leotard if possible)

Pink make-up

Directions:

Creating a Bubble Gum costume is easier than you might think. First, look through your closet to see what types of pink clothing you have. For instance, do you have pink shirts, tank tops, shorts, etc...? Now, once you've figured out what you're going to wear; now you need to focus on your hair.

The best pink dye is a dye that can be washed out. This makes sure no matter how crazy you go for Halloween; you can wash it out and know your hair will return to normal. There is something about pink hair that makes the Halloween outfit complete.

For your makeup, you want to go as bold pink as possible. This means pink eye shadow, pink blush, pink lipstick, etc... The pinker you go the better. Once you've created pink hair, pink clothing, pink make-up, you are ready to head out to your Halloween Costume Parties.
