5 DIY Last Minute Halloween Costumes

I really don't like halloween. I know, I know who doesn't like halloween? Adults who are too old to trick or treat and too young to die.


Now if you don't hate halloween you're going to need a costume. If you're anything like me, you completely forgot about that party you had to go to until like, 10 minutes before. 

I found some great DIY halloween costumes made out of clothes you probably already have. 

1. Kim Possible; everyone's favorite normal girl turned super hero crime fighting sort of high schooler.

DIY: chic skull decor

Punk and grunge are back in a big way. Skulls are everywhere. They're on scarves (Alexander McQueen anyone?) bags, everywhere and they're not just for Halloween. If you've been on Tumblr or Pinterest lately you've seen these chicly decorated skulls. Put them at the end of your shelves or on a stack of books. Wherever you put it, you'll have a super chic decoration. 

So lets's get started in making one of these bad boys. You'll need: matte black spray paint, glitter glue, a plastic skull ( you should be able to find them at one of those pop up Halloween stores or your dollar store,) and some paintbrushes or sponges to apply the glitter. 

First off you're going to want to spray the skull with an even layer of black spray paint. Do this outside or lay down something to protect the surface you're working on. 

Wait for the paint to dry and you should have a matte black skull.

Make sure you cover the bottom and back too. Add a second coat if it's too sheer or you missed some spots.

Once the paint has dried, mix your glitters and apply a few coats of it.
