If you’ve got a couple of children to costume up, it can move into some dollars. If you are poor on time, dollars or both, here are 5 quick easy Halloween costumes you can build yourself in just a few hours. A trip to the dollar store for a couple of neat add-on’s and you’ve got some happy trick or treaters. These costumes are a score with all the kids.
The quintessential quick easy Halloween costume is the ghost. Yes, the plain white sheet is the main staple of this costume, but your ghost needn’t be a plain Jane or Joe. This is a very well styled ghost, coolheaded as can be. Put the sheet over the child so that it is equally allotted by width and length. Ask the child to show each eye – they think this is goofy and it adds to the merriment. Take a magic marker and draw rings, large enough for clear viewing. Cut the hem as necessary. Pin the arm hole openings, loose enough to grant easy movement. Pull off the sheet. Use a glue gun to attach sequins or beads around the eye holes and day-glow stickers everyplace. Sew the armhole openings. You’re done!
Your small princess will feel like a real Princess in this quick easy Halloween costume. You can find the basic dress at a thrift store. Search for a special occasion dress. Let your little girl do the selecting of colouring and style. A stop at the fabric shop will yield all thelace, satin flowers, appliques & trims you’ll need to make this dress really special. A rhinestone princess tiara completes the picture perfect Princess costume.
Small girls invariably want to be an angel at least one time! Again, it’s easy to find a white, special occasion dress at thrift shops. The fabric shop renders more adornments. Use a spray adhesive to make sprinkles of glitter bond, as desired.
SpongeBob Square Pants(TM) is a funny looking guy who is popular with young boys. All you need is a rectangular cardboard box and some acrylic paint.

This quick easy Halloween costume runs faster when your child participates in the painting, which he’ll wish to do!
A pair of jeans, a plaid shirt and a few dime store supplements are all you want for the cowboy or cowgirl costume. With a hat, six-shooter belt and cheap boots, your kid is ready to rustle up some treats!
