DIY Halloween Costume: Bandit
Raid your friends' closets to help you put together the pieces for this quick DIY Halloween costume.

Most of the supplies for this costume can be found in your closet — or in a friend's closet! If you don't have time to look for a bandit mask, just make one using an old black T-shirt and scissors. While the loot bag is totally optional, it certainly adds that little something extra to the ensemble.
