Easy Homemade Halloween Costumes with an Avatar Costume

Easy homemade Halloween costumes give you more time to eat candy. These are 5 DIY Halloween costume ideas including an Avatar costume.

Easy Homemade Halloween Costume: Avatar Costume
Sure, you could buy an expensive Avatar costume, but this DIY Halloween costume will let you stand out for less. Wear a big black plastic garbage bag and smear it with tar. Stick a name tag on your chest that says Ava. Actually, tar contains a lot of poisons so tape tartar sauce package labels around your bag instead. That way you'll also be able to sit down in your Avatar costume without ruining the furniture.

No Sweat DIY Halloween Costume: Football Widow
If you think Halloween is scary, what about this real life horror? Dress in black and carry a football and a TV guide. Sob into a handkerchief. Keep asking people if it's February yet. As the night wears on, make up increasingly hostile explanations of what NFL and ESPN stand for.

Simple Homemade Halloween Costume: Hedge Hog
This DIY costume is inspired by the 2009 Edinburgh Fringe where comedian Dan Antopolski won first prize for the funniest joke, "Hedgehogs. Why can't they just share the hedge?" Color the tip of your nose brown. Wear a hooded brown sweatshirt with bristles glued in a line up the back. Carry a picture of a hedge and refuse to let anyone else look at it. If another hedgehog shows up, take it outdoors so no one gets hurt.

Easy DIY Halloween Costume: Earl Gray
Wear a gray suit. Tape a long string with a tea bag onto your back. Speak with a British accent. Complain that Kombucha is just a passing fad. Say you were really excited about the Tea Party movement until you found out they didn't serve tea. And just try getting a lousy biscuit.

Easy Homemade Halloween Costume: Whistler's Mother
This DIY Halloween costume will work best with a couple. One person just has to whistle or wear a toy whistle on a string around their neck. The second person can wear a black dress and white lace cloth on their head while they nag all night about doing your homework and eating your vegetables.

These simple homemade Halloween costume ideas will make your Halloween partying a cinch. Plus, you can buy more candy with the money you save on that Avatar costume.
