Easy Last Minute Halloween Costumes for Girls

If you are looking for some easy Halloween costume ideas for a young girl that you can whip up at the last minute, read on for some cleaver yet super easy costumes you might have never thought about before!

Easy Last Minute Costume for Girls #1 - Spoiled Spa Princess

A spoiled spa princess is a very easy costume to whip up and it's a great costume for any tween girl. You will need a big bathrobe. A terry cloth bathrobe would be perfect, especially a white terry cloth bathrobe. But any bath robe will do. The bathrobe should be large and roomy, so an adult bathrobe is great, even for a tween. Then put the girl's hair up in a towel and pin the towel so it stays in place. Cover the girl's face in green or blue face paint to make it look like she's having a facial. Paint her fingernails or apply long, fake nails for a more pampered look. Let her wear slippers on her feet. Make sure the slippers are not a trip hazard if the girl is going trick-or-treating in this costume. Give her a gift bag and write Spoiled Spa Princess on the bag. The bag can be used to carry her Halloween candy. CLICK HERE to get an idea of what a Spoiled Spa Princess costume can look like.

Easy Last Minute Costume for Girls #2 - Miss Universe

A Miss Universe pageant costume is very easy to create. All your girl needs is a pretty dress. If she does not have a fancy dress in her closet, she can wear one of mom's dresses. All you need to do is cinch it as the waist with a belt to get it to fit. Then turn the hem in and pin it on the inside so the dress does not drag on the floor. Make a banner by cutting a long strip of white fabric and printing Miss Universe on it. Make a crown by attaching some glittery stars on a head band. Then give her a bouquet of artificial roses. For shoes, she can wear any of her good shoes or ballet slippers. Add pretty make up to her face. For her trick-or-treat bag, let her use a big fancy purse.

Easy Last Minute Costume for Girls #3 - Gypsy

A gypsy costume is very easy to make and you most likely have everything you need to make this costume. All you need is a bunch of mismatched clothing and some scarves. For clothing, look for wide flared skirts. Layer two or three, one on top of the other, with the longest one on the bottom and the shortest one on the top. Then add one or two loose fitting shirts and let them hang over the top of the skirts. Cinch the waist with a belt then add several more belts and let some hang loose at the hips. Wrap a scarf around the girl's head. Add lots and lots of jewelry. For shoes, sandals are nice if you are in a warm weather area. If you are in a colder climate, clunky boots are good. Add makeup to her face and over do the eyes a bit. A tambourine is a nice final touch. For a trick-or-treat bag, a pillow case or a big tote bag will be perfect.
