Summerween is this Saturday, and you forgot a costume? Fear not, fellow fright fans! With a little creativity and these easy DIY ideas, you’ll be the hit of the party in no time.
Ketchup and Mustard: Grab two solid-colored outfits (red and yellow work best) and safety pin construction paper packets labeled “ketchup” and “mustard” on the front. Bonus points for carrying a squirt gun filled with water!
Ice Cream Sundae: Layer colorful flowy fabrics (think scarves or sheets) like scoops of ice cream. Top it off with a cherry red hat, headband, and maybe even a plastic spoon tucked behind your ear.
Ghost: This never goes out of style! Drape a white sheet over yourself and cut out spooky eyes. Add a spooky moan for extra effect.
Vampire: Dust off your black clothes, add a dramatic cape (a black bedsheet will do!), and slick back your hair. Accentuate your eyes with dark makeup and maybe even some fake fangs!
Tourist: Grab a fanny pack, a straw hat, and layer on mismatched clothes and socks. Bonus points for carrying a camera (real or toy) and a guidebook (use an old magazine!).
Glowstick Party: Put on all black and decorate yourself with glowsticks! You’ll be a walking, glowing party favor.
Pop Culture Puns: Love pineapples? Wear a pineapple shirt and declare yourself “the unseenable pineapple.” Movie buff? Channel your favorite character with a few key accessories. Think sunglasses for Men in Black or a striped shirt for Beetlejuice.
Emoji Extravaganza: Grab a yellow shirt and draw a giant emoji face on it. Get creative with different expressions – happy, sad, or even a party pooper!
Summerween is all about fun! Don’t be afraid to get silly and embrace the spooky summer spirit. With a little resourcefulness and these DIY ideas, you’ll be ready to haunt (or rather, delight) the dance floor in no time! Don’t forget to get your Summerween Tickets here, hope to see you there!
