so basically i wasn't planning on going out tonight but now i changed my mind. i'm going to a costume party but i dont have time to go out and buy anything. so my question is, what are some acceptable costumes you can make out of household items? (household being a relative term, im in a dorm so really i only have the bare essentials)

some random items i have besides regular clothes:

-swimming stuff such as speedos, parka, warm ups, 80s style short board shorts

-sweet straw hat like this

and thats about it. +k for good suggestions

 
Not the greatest, but acceptable: Go as a farmer. Wear straw hat, put bandana around neck, purchase a corncob pipe. Overalls would be nice, but jeans will work. Wear a plain t-shirt. Boots, not shoes. Roll up the cuffs of your jeans a bit.
 
1. choose celebrity (justin beiber, zach efron, mel gibson)

2. print out face shot, cut out face only

3. cut out cardboard the same size of face

4. cut out eyes

5. duck tape some kind of stick to bottom

6. and BOOM, a cheap, funny, and cheap Halloween costume
 
this is a really gay thread. actually you seem like a loser in general.

but make some shit out of duct tape, always good
 
well thats just like, your opinion man

but im leaning towards pedophile, by the time the girls realize my inappropriate groping isnt part of the costume... it will be too late
 
here's what you do, you put on the speedo, boardshorts, the hat, and the banda to the style of your liking, make sure you bag your pants. go to the party and when people ask you what you are, say "i'm the one wearing shit, you be creative." or something like that.
 
bump for another party tonight and of course im still not prepared. that night i went with short shorts and a vest and a creepy drawn on pencil mustache and was a pedophile
 
Get a fake plant, set it in styrofoam in a light pot, cut out the bottom and put that shit on your head. Proceed to smoke lots of weed because you're a pothead.
 
just make it easier on yourself and go to home depot and get a clay pot big enough to fit your head and wear it like a helmet.

another idea is be a nudist on strike. wear or hold a picket sign while wearing your regular clothes.
 
i made my costume yesterday before going out. went and got a white sweater and pants from good will and I went as facebook. just stick your profile pic on your chest, along with your name, info, events, friends etc...on your back leave room for your wall and have markers for people to write. i thought id have mixed reactions but it was legit, everyone loved it.
 
be a tourist! wear a hawiian shirt, birkenstocks or tivas with socks, cargo shorts, have a disposable camera, and a map in your front pocket. also get sunglasses with a croakie, and wear that straw hat or a visor
 
Alright guys I figured this out a few weeks ago, buy a can of spray paint, cardboard, exacto knife, talk in a voice scrambler and KABOOM you are Banksy.......no one knows what he looks like!
 
imma be a hipster, cut sleeves off of v neck and make some caprees, alone with glasses, low cut shoes, and a headband. mad braclets and shit too
 
Use the straw hat and speedo. Find a collared shirt, preferably with hawaiian flower print on it. Wear some sunglasses and the most essential piece - a camera with a strap so you can put it on your neck. Boom, tourist.
 
Black garbage bag,

black duct tape,

yellow duct tape,

old baseball cap.

Cut up the garbage bag to make it look like wings with feathers, tape up the cap to make it black with a yellow bill. Wear all black. Boom your a crow.
 
I'm going as an old-school basketball player. Just short-shorts, a basketball jersey, a headband, and mid-calves. Very easy, and I think people will enjoy it.
