You Can Make These Halloween Costumes With Items You Probably Already Have

As much fun as it is to make your own elaborate costume for Halloween, it's possible October 31 just snuck up on you this year. And if you have a Halloween party to attend but still no Halloween costume, it's tempting to panic or skip it all together. Well, have no fear procrastinators, because whipping up a Halloween costume from your closet is easier than you think, and if you're in need of last-minute Halloween costume ideas, then you may just find one in your own wardrobe. Think of it as turning your closet into your own personal thrift store. After all, there's nothing wrong with a costume that costs nothing.

Costumes don’t need to be intricate and expensive to be unique, and plenty of easy Halloween costumes can be made with items you already own. From iconic fictional characters to classic Halloween staples, these costume ideas won't cost you a thing if you already own all the items you need (and if you don't own all the right pieces, then you can add items from Amazon to your closet that you'll wear long after Halloween is over). Here are some DIY Halloween costumes for men and women that you can make with normal clothes you already own.
