Quirkiest Costume Ideas For 2021

The magazine Good Housekeeping has gathered a few lists of easy Halloween costumes to pull off, along with a few tips on how to put them together quickly.
Here are a few of the fastest do-it-yourself Halloween costume ideas involving items commonly seen at pumpkin patches:

• A cowboy or cowgirl is an easy one. Everyone seems to own a pair of jeans. Then, throw on the best-looking flannel, similar to something that could be seen on a scarecrow at a pumpkin patch, and some Western boots to complete the look.
• The classic skeleton can be done in minutes. Just cut out sections of an old white T-shirt, put on some black and white makeup and cut out a heart from construction paper often spotted at pumpkin patches.
• Some easy-to-pull-off Halloween costumes are living puns. Like "Holy Guacamole." All that's needed is a green T-shirt, printed out avocado emojis, and a halo and wings made out of the old white fabric often used for decorations at pumpkin fields.
• There's always the option to dress up as a mummy — seen at various pumpkin patches — with a costume that needs only a copious amount of toilet paper.
• Dressing as a live Instagram filter has become a more contemporary Halloween theme in recent years. Instagram users can pull up one of their stories, select a filter, point the phone to a blank surface and take a screenshot, GoodHousekeeping.com explains. They can print the screenshot on a thick board and cut out the middle to fit their face. For best creativity, tape some bundles of hay found at pumpkin patches to the edge of your actual live story.
