No-Sew Halloween Costumes for the Last Minute Halloween Party

D.K. Bernhard
You want to have a great Halloween Costume for the party, but you can't sew and you don't want to wear that big monkey suit again? Well, now is the time to read up on these great no-sew Halloween costumes!

Halloween has come around again and that sewing machine that you have bought sits idle in your basement, unused and unlearned. Well now you can be the life (or death) of the Halloween party this year with a few great ideas for some no-sew Halloween costumes!

There are some truly spectacular masks on the market right now that can be worn with your existing clothes, or just a few purchases from an Army surplus store. These are, in fact, The Best Halloween Masks This Year, and will make anything look like a great and well thought out costume.

If you don't want to wear a mask this year, you still do have a few more choices for No-Sew Halloween Costumes with a little humor.

The "Cereal" Killer

This is a simple costume that requires a quick trip to a grocery store before the party. You need to purchase some string (clothes line rope if you can find it), food coloring, a box of your least favorite cereal, and a spoon. On either side of the box, make a small hole. Cut a length of rope long enough to drape around your neck and knot either end. Open the Cereal box, put either end of the rope through both sides of the box, and wear it around your neck like a medallion. Rip/cut open the center of the Cereal box, and amply drip food coloring through the middle of the box and on the spoon. Hand out cereal, and not only will your costume be a big hit, you will be also.

Homicidal Maniac

Wednesday Adams in the 1991 Adam's Family film came up with this one. Dress in your normal, every day clothes, or something 'normal'. When people ask you in their sarcastic tone, "What are you supposed to be?" In a monotone voice, simply quote the film. "This is my costume. I'm a homicidal maniac, they look just like everyone else."

TOGA, TOGA, TOGA - or Greek Goddess

A simple white sheet, a large safety pin, and a crown of Ivy (optional), and a smashed guitar (optional) will make the perfect Bluto costume from Animal House! You could also wear this to go as a Greek God or Goddess, but the smashed guitar (or frat paddle) makes this costume that much more fun! If you would like to wear this costume as a Greek God, then simply do without the guitar, maybe add a little over-exaggerated makeup for women, or a very tanned foundation for men, and there you have it!
