Who doesn’t adore crafternoons?

Halloween is the perfect excuse to dust off your prit stix and unleash your epic creative juices. These halloween costume ideas have done the rounds on the Internet and we’ve compiled the best, with tips on how to create them with absolute ease. Don’t worry, we’ve got this covered.

 

 1. Lego People

These look super impressive but really it’s just a load of cardboard and a paper maché head by the looks of it. Make a roll out of a light card, something like a cereal box or your degree, paper maché all over et violá!

2. Guess Who?

Simply use a strong card like mounting board to make the frame. Plagiarise the GuessWho logo and stick it on there directly. Dress generically and pat yourself on the back for your originality.

3. Selfie

Same as above, simply create the frame from strong mounting card, pride yourself on personifying a social media and head to generic night club Harcourt Street the session.

4. Mario Kart 

The trickiest thing about this would be sourcing that amount of friends the appropriate coloured bikes. The rest are just simple costumes that can be sourced from charity shops or easily sewn together.

5. Awky Family Photo 

Again seriously easy. For the more adventurous it could be worth fashioning something that shows off actual artistic talent, like an actual picture frame.

6. Dominos

All black attire. White spots glued on. Easy peasy lemon squeezey. This is all about the commitment on the night, lying down and playing dead. The key is to lay as stilted as your creativity.

 10. Rock, Paper & Scissors

There’s a lot of paper maché work required here so many nights in are required. However note its uncomfortable appearance and bulky nature will instantly put distance between you and anyone else at the party. It, and nothing else, will probably prevent you from getting lucky.
