Dirty Laundry - Grab a laundry basket and cut out the bottom. You may need to secure it with string to create "suspenders" that will hold the basket in place around your waist. Fill it with dirty laundry and you’re good to go.

Cereal Killer - If you like puns this costume is for you. All you need are empty mini cereal boxes, fake blood, plastic knives and some safety pins. Stab the cereal boxes with the knives and apply fake blood. Attach the cereal boxes to a plain t-shirt using safety pins and there you have it — a scary cereal killer.

Bunch of Grapes - Start with a purple or green sweat suit or leotard, green or purple balloons, and brown tights or leggings. Blow up small purple or green balloons and carefully pin the ends to the sweat suit or leotard.

A Recyclable - Wear a trash bag and adorn with empty bottles and cans.

Backwards Man - You simply put on a shirt and a pair of pants backwards, then put a couple of T-shirts or other padding into the pants butt, to give yourself some "back."

Happy Halloween!!
