The funny Halloween costume that never fails to bring astonishment and laughter when it is well-executed, is dressing as if you are walking on your hands upside down. Any outfit with long sleeves and long pants can be used. So deciding on what character to be……is all that’s left to decide on, and can be as wild as your imagination can take it! I just keep coming up with all these crazy ideas. The shark is my favorite!
Here’s a group of costumes that will always crack everyone up: Simply choose any ordinary household item, and become the item! Favorites I have seen were a Christmas tree ornament, a light bulb, a steeping tea bag in a cup, and a bag of laundry. It is also possible to use a large box to become furniture, packages of food, or smaller cube shaped items like dice. Decorate the box, cut holes for your head and arms and you are all set. Another crazy illusion: upside down clown.Paint a big box like a clothes dryer. When you get tired of wearing the box, just take it off. And underneath you’re wearing bright red ‘long john’ underwear, with socks and laundry attached all over it (like static cling).
Decorate ready-made cardboard barrels or plastic tubs or bend large poster board into a cylinder to become cylindrical items: This is how you can become a birthday or wedding cake, a battery, a can of beans or a totem pole.
Yummy Sandwich
You can also cut two matching pieces of cardboard, attach them with straps to wear like a sandwich board, and decorate them to be an actual sandwich, complete with felt or painted cardboard cutouts to be the meat, cheese, lettuce, tomato, etc.
Remember that most of these costumes will not allow for sitting down, so create them to take on and off easily for riding in the car and for relaxing at the party after your big entrance. You can even have another, simpler crazy costume on (maybe a t-shirt ’costume’) underneath your box or barrel costume (or like the laundry/dryer one).
Get Creative
Now it’s your turn to get your creative juices flowing and come up with an outrageous and creative costume idea. You’ll be the hit of the party!
Get Creative! Get Crazy! And have a Fun and Whacky Halloween!
Here’s another fun idea if you can stomach it! A yucky can of worms is sure to gross everybody out at the party. Try this crazy Top 10 if you need some current events ideas for costumes. Sometimes we like to take a trip to a different location for a unique celebration on Halloween. We just bring our costumes with us and have a great family time. If you don’t want to sew anything, try making this cute and funny washing machine out of a cardboard box. As long as you’re dressing up and wearing something fun, you might as well dress up your dog in something funny too! Finally, one of my favorites is this picture of twins dressed Thing 1 and Thing 2!
Now get busy with your own creativity. You’ve certainly got enough ideas here to get you inspired. Have a Hilarious & Happy Halloween!
