Very Last Minute Halloween Costumes

In a pinch for a quick, cheap homemade costume for that party your neighbor decided to throw at the last minute? Have the kids all set but forgot all about yourself? Not unusual situations in which to find yourself. 

Here are some easy costumes for just those moments that can be made mostly with items you have lying around the house.

With just a pair of nice slacks, a white shirt and red sweater, you too can be Betty Crocker. Add a necklace and a wooden spoon and off you go!

If Betty needs an escort who better than the Brawny Paper Towel Man? (OK, well, maybe Mr. Clean.)

For the Brawny Guy: A flannel shirt, jeans and a roll of paper towels is all your kitchen date needs.

Mr Clean: Perfect for the bald or mostly bald man! Just an earring, white t-shirt and jeans is all you need.

The perfect costume for one, two, three or a whole group! Wear all black and paint your face white. For added effect, emphasize your eyebrows and eyes with black eyeliner. If you happen to have a black beret, now is the time to pull it out of storage. 

Added bonus: If you aren't feeling particularly social, you have the perfect excuse not to talk!
