Last minute halloween costumes (on a student budget)
So it’s almost Halloween and you haven’t got an outfit sorted because you’re studying really hard and

Here’s a few cheap easy ideas that you can pick from quickly before the big night:
“The Bed Sheet Ghost”

I don’t know about you, but I don’t have a spare bed sheet, so I can’t do this option. If you do, pop it on your head and get someone to cut two holes for your eyes, two holes at the sides for your arms and BAM. It’s a fitted sheet? Well then it’ll just feel elasticated and weird. And you’ll have to deal with looking like a failed meringue. Or a poached egg that’s lost its yolk. Solution: get somebody else to dress up as a yolk. SORTED.

Got loo roll? Good, you should have – personal hygiene ‘n’ all. Wrap yourself in it and then get your friends/passers-by to throw wet tea bags at you – fun all round. Bonus points if you somehow end up looking like this guy.
“The Mean Girls Animal”

I’m a mouse, duh. Borrow a headband, grab some cardboard (maybe from that pack of Weetos you just finished), some tape, plus a few coloured pens and you’re good to go. To make ears, I mean. Then eyeliner is your hero for face detail. Guys, of course you are also welcome as inappropriately “cute” animals.

Been out the night before Halloween? Your face will probably do the trick. Then all you have to do is maintain that face for a mere 24 hours.
“The Witch/Wizard”

Witch: jazz up the classic (all-black clothing) with some green neon face-paint or really bright tights, which bring both awesomeness and warmth. OH YEAH. Wizard: “I’m a WIZARD?!” Yes, you’re a wizard. If you master the main features of a wizard which seem to be the beard, the pointy hat, and the robe. None of those? Well, don’t go as a wizard then.
“The Zombie”

If you’re one of those people who has kept their school-uniform (because, let’s face it – WE ALL LOVED IT SO MUCH) then you could do a Zombie School-kid. If not, do not fear! The key here is lots and lots of fake blood. Bloood. And maybe some creepy-ass contact lenses.
“The Person Who’s Gone Too Far”

Yeah… good luck fitting in a toilet cubicle with that one.
