Salt Bae ?

 

Who doesn’t love a great meme-inspired DIY Halloween costume? Not only is this a pop-culture phenomenon, it’s also SUPER easy to pull off. All you need are shades, a white tee, and a good ‘ol carton of salt. (Can’t guarantee you’ll have the grace and skill required to pull off sprinkling that salt, though…)

• Fake mustache ($5)

• Black (preferably round) sunglasses

• White t-shirt

• Black pants

• Salt

 

Cereal Killer ?

 

Cereal Killer is a classic and clever DIY Halloween costume, as well as a great way to make use of all the empty cereal boxes you’ve forgotten to recycle.

• Cereal boxes

• T-shirt

• Plastic knife

 

Deviled Egg ?

 

Another punny DIY Halloween costume! If you have a white shirt, just glue a yellow circle onto it to create your yolk. Throw on some devil horns and you’re good to go.

• White dress/shirt

• Yellow fabric/felt

• Devil horns ($5)

 

Pigs in a blanket ? ?

 

With Real Simple’s DIY for pig ears, you won’t even need to shell out more than $5. Grab a friend and throw on a movie while you craft your costume. Bonus: snuggling up with someone underneath a blanket will be worth it when temperatures inevitably drop at the end of October.

• Pig ears/nose

• Blanket

 

Superman (a.k.a. Clark Kent) ?‍?

Clark Kent is the easiest DIY Halloween costume in the book. If you happen to have a Superman tee on hand, even better–otherwise a patch will do just fine ?

• Black glasses

• Superman patch ($4)

• White button down
