As Halloween is now in less than a week, many people are finalizing their costumes, and getting everything ready for the big day. Although it is fast approaching, others may not have a specific costume in mind. At this stage, people without costumes may want to spend the least amount of money possible, and be something that requires little effort.

To solve this problem, making a cheap and unique costume is the way to go. Making your own costume helps to save you money while still looking like a million bucks. With that being said, there is a variety of costumes that can be put together in a short time-span.

For the girls, there are many options on what to wear, but the most simple is the black cat. This look can be accomplished by wearing black leggings, a black t shirt, and a pair of cat ears. Drawing whiskers on your face helps to complete the outfit. This costume is something that you can do both by yourself, or with a group.

If being a cat is not your thing, there are many other options to choose from. If you would like to be something more spooky, being a witch may satisfy you. Being a witch requires you to wear black clothing with black boots. In order to complete the look, you must accessorize by buying a pointed hat, a black cape, and a broomstick.

As for the boys, there are also many options. An example of an easy costume to make is a tourist costume. In order to look like a tourist, you simply must wear cargo shorts, high socks and sneakers, a hat, and a Hawaiian shirt. The costume is completed by adding a fanny pack and camera to the ensemble.

If being a tourist does not appeal to you, another option is to be a football player. All that being a football player requires is for you to wear a football jersey. If you want to look more authentic, it requires you to put eye black on your face, and carry a football helmet around with you. This costume can also be modified, transforming yourself into an athlete of any sport of your choice. For example, you can be a baseball player instead of a football player.

If none of these costumes are for you, there are many more options out there; the internet offers a variety of ideas. Despite whatever costume you choose, be sure to have a safe and happy Halloween.
