Ariel (From The Little Mermaid)(41 of181)

Even without the tail, the star of The Little Mermaid is instantly recognizable thanks to her signature colours. If you own green and purple, all you really need to do is get a red wig, borrow a fish stuffed animal from a kid and perhaps keep a fork in your back pocket.Via TDot Comics.
S'More Family(42 of181)
Open Image Modal
Obviously, you needn't do this as a family — any group of four will do. But we love the super simplicity of the cardboard costumes: two with dotted lines, one painted brown with the Hersheys logo. You can easily use an old pillow for the marshmallow piece.Via Pinterest.
Starbucks Drinks(43 of181)
Open Image Modal
Who doesn't have a white T-shirt hanging around, just waiting to have a Starbucks logo stuck to it? While these women opted for tank dresses, this can work just as well with a shirt and white pants. The back detail (you know, how you take your coffee) is what really sets this apart.Via The Annapolitan.
Fifty Shades Of Grey(44 of181)
Open Image Modal
Go to a paint store. Take a few handfuls of grey paint samples. Done, plus, you're a genius.Via Pinterest.
Mario And Luigi(45 of181)
Open Image Modal
You needn't be a toddler to rock this costume — all you really need is a pair of overalls that fits. Oh, and a solid red and solid green T-shirt, along with a matching baseball cap. But it's actually that simple and classic. So very, very classic.Via Word Of Game.
Sriracha Bottle(46 of181)
Open Image Modal
While this particular costume for "Chinese hot sauce" might be on sale, we think it wouldn't be too difficult to make it at home with a green party hat, a red dress and a printed-off (or hand-drawn, if you're feeling ambitious) logo.
Rosie The Riveter(47 of181)
Open Image Modal
Here's what you need for this costume: a blue button-down shirt and a red bandana. And muscle, if you so choose. We love the addition of the "We Can Do It" sign made with poster board.Via Coolest Homemade Costumes.
Duck Dynasty(48 of181)
Open Image Modal
Love or hate the show, it does make for an excellent easy (and warm) costume for Halloween. Inevitably, you have a plaid or camouflage shirt and jeans in your closet, so all you'll need to buy is that intense beard, and perhaps a U.S.-themed bandana.Via Costume Works.
Bag Of Jelly Beans(49 of181)
Open Image Modal
If you love candy (and who doesn't on Halloween), this is the outfit for you. Blow up approximately 50 balloons, poke appropriate arm, leg and neck holes in a clear plastic bag and call it a day. (Add that nutrition label if you're feeling fancy.)Via iVillage.com.
Twister Board(50 of181)
Open Image Modal
There are two ways to approach this costume: either do as Leah Ingram of Parade did, and use the board game itself, or you can make it fully DIY. Buy construction paper, cut out six circles of each colour, tape red and green down either arm and blue and yellow down your torso and legs ... and voila! (Bonus points for making your own spinner.)
Social Media(51 of181)
Open Image Modal
When in doubt, make a sign, hang it around your neck and call it a day. Adding in some characteristics (like the chef's hat for food-loving Pinterest or the 'let's meet over coffee' coffee cup for LinkedIn) gives this costume personality.Via Ishmael's Corner.
Royal Baby(52 of181)
Open Image Modal
Thanks to the announcement that Kate and William are expecting another child next year, the royal baby costume can come back into fashion. Just grab a bib, a crown, a rattle and you're good to go.
Supergirl (Or Superman) In Disguise(53 of181)
Open Image Modal
Forget the cape and tights action and opt for Supergirl or Superman just before they fly off to fight evil. The necessities are a white shirt, thick framed glasses, pants or a skirt, and of course, a shirt with a Superman logo underneath.Via Pinterest.
Peter Pan(54 of181)
Open Image Modal
Thanks to DIY Costumes on Instagram, we know what all the components should be for a Peter Pan outfit for women (though men can adapt it easily as well).

A costume that requires no sewing, is easy to make with household materials (and a couple of craft supplies) and works for a group? We love this one, via Crafts by Courtney.
Paper Doll(57 of181)

If you're handy with a sewing machine and have a hooded sweatshirt that's a bit stained (or that would just look better with some dinosaur horns), this is the Halloween project for you. Check out the instructions for making it at What Jeff Did.
Pharrell's Hat(59 of181)
Open Image Modal
A simple, and easily recognizable costume that will take you far — why not construct Pharrell's hat out of cardboard, don an athletic zip-up and call it a day? (credit:ROBYN BECK via Getty Images)
Joan Rivers(60 of181)
Open Image Modal
Think of this not as a costume, but a tribute. Pile on every boa in your home, get a short blond wig and don't be afraid to say whatever the first thought is that pops into your mind all night. RIP Joan. (credit:Evan Agostini/Invision/AP)

Orange Is the New Black(64 of181)
Open Image Modal
This breakout Netflix show makes an easy enough costume for most women if you just get orange scrubs and white sneakers, but we like this as a group costume that includes Piper, Red, Taystee, Poussey, Crazy Eyes, Sophia, Pennsatucky, Alex...really, as many of these awesome characters as possible. For a much cheaper spin on designer prison duds, check out this uniform shop. (credit:Marie Claire)
Bacon and Eggs(65 of181)
Open Image Modal
This couple costume is made with inexpensive felt. If you can't sew, you can use fusing tape and an iron to put this one together. Have a third person you need a costume for? Cut two circles of beige felt and you've got a pancake! (credit:Makezine)

Hoodie Animal(72 of181)
Open Image Modal
If you've got a hoodie, some felt, and some velcro you can put together a simple costume for the animal of your choice. Add a bit of face paint to take it up a notch, but if it's good enough for Martha, it's good enough for us. (credit:Martha Stewart)
Duck Dynasty(73 of181)
Open Image Modal
This will be a popular one this year, we're sure, but it's still fun. You shouldn't have much trouble finding camo pants, a bandana, and a long beard. Add a mug of tea for Si, of course.

Sharknado(78 of181)
Open Image Modal
We favour the shark-head mask plus grey sweatshirt with stuff taped to it approach, to make a literal Sharknado, but you've got a few options here. It's even adorable on dogs! (credit:HubPages)
iPhone(79 of181)
Open Image Modal
Bring back all that cutting and glueing you did in kindergarten and put this one together with a box or a couple of pieces of poster board. Perhaps you can break out some spray paint and go as the coveted gold iPhone 5S, or add some colour and go as an iPhone 5C. (credit:Spoonful)

Sharpie Pumpkin(82 of181)
Open Image Modal
Grab an unloved orange garment from your closet, or pick one up at your local thrift store, and get creative with a black marker.

Miley Cyrus, With A Twist(86 of181)
Open Image Modal
Don't go as Miley without putting your own spin on it. Robin Thicke's suit channeled Beetlejuice, so we're in favour of going as Beetlejuice and Lydia at the VMAs. Robin: striped suit (go with white paint on a black secondhand suit), crazy makeup, aviators. Lydia: very short puffy red dress, a black foam finger, black top knots with spiky bangs—and, obviously, tongue sticking out as often as possible. (credit:Fanpop)
Carrie(87 of181)

You can go creative (and less messy), like in this photo, with some red tinsel, or you can just put on a white dress and blonde wig and then pour (water-based!) red paint all over yourself. Your call. (credit:Flickr)
