Frugal and Fast: Last Minute Halloween Costumes

I wasn't going to dress up for Halloween this year.

Then The Sailor was given a Beetlejuice costume for the night. Now I will probably wear something but I don't have much time to prepare. I did find quite a few ideas that are not too pricey and can be made fairly quickly.

Medusa

What you'll need:
Longer hair (find a hair tutorial)
Plastic snakes (dollar store find)
A white sheet (no sew goddess dress)
Green eye shadow
Gold ribbon or cord for belted waist
   
Variations: Athena or Poseidon (you can make a trident with a broomstick, cardboard and duct tape)
   


Bandit
What you'll need:
Black and white stripped or solid black shirt
Black pants/skirt
No sew bandit mask or pantyhose
Sack or pillowcase with dollar sign drawn on

Rosie the Riveter
What you'll need:
Red bandanna

Serious "kick ass" attitude

Clark Kent
What you'll need:
A superman shirt or print out the emblem and attach to a blue shirt
A suit and tie (maybe some kind of wiring to make the tie look wind blown)
