Cheap, Easy Costumes You Can Make At Home
Any suggestions for homemade costumes?

some of my ideas:

"The Messy Eater" put on a bib, cover it and your face with spaghetti sauce, ketchup, mustard, etc., drape some pasta over your ears, and presto - your done

"The Absent Minded Professor" - Don a lab coat, shave half your face and leave the shaving creme on the other side, then tape one of your shoes to your head

"Leftovers" - wrap your torso in aluminum foil, put a tupperware bowl over your head

"Evil Robot" - get two boxes - one big enough to fit over your head, the other your torso - cover in aluminum foil, adorn with antenna and circles of colored paper to simulate lights, cut eye holes and a jagged mouth and angry eyebrows into the head.

1. The guy in that commercial for Detrol, who wears a big sign that says:
"I HAVE A BLADDER CONTROL PROBLEM"

2. the best and easiest I ever saw.
the costume consists of two pieces of tape, and two pieces of bread.

tape one piece of bread on your chest.

tape one piece of bread on your back. (this might require help).

what are you?

3. um...
an idiot?

just kidding. That's a good one. Might have to try it tonight since I'm going to a halloween concert/party and even going as leftovers seems like a pain in the ass right now.
