Halloween is just days away. If you are like me, you have no idea what you are going to wear but are expected to show up in something other than regular daily attire. To help us both out, I’ve scoured social media sites and found these 5 easy and affordable DIY Halloween costumes for TikTok Tuesday.

I have friends who have been planning their outfits for months. Some of them are putting together elaborate costumes that they have been painstakingly constructing in their free time. This holiday is like their Christmas. They absolutely love it and go all out.

You might be the same way. If so, thank you. You help make this season entertaining and fun.

I’m typically someone who waits until the last minute to throw something together. This year is no exception. Sometimes last minute ideas are homeruns, other times they are strike outs. I’m just trying to get on base with some of these ideas.

If you’re costume is done but you need help with food and decor I have some ideas for those too. For some pumpkin spice recipes that cover lots of ground, click here. If you are looking for creative appetizers for Halloween, here are some great ones to try. Also, for cool pumpkin carving designs and ideas, click here.

If you don’t have a TikTok account, don’t worry. I’ve made it easy to view the videos by taking these links from mine. Simply scroll down and watch from this post. Share this with friends who are also behind in getting their costumes together.

Here Are 5 Easy And Affordable DIY Halloween Costumes

• Goodness Grapes

  This is an old faithful. Blow up a bunch of balloons to become a bunch of grapes. Word of caution, be thoughtful in what you wear underneath. People will inevitably pop those balloons as the night goes on.

  Leonardo approved 🤣 Our first little DIY family Halloween costume obviously had to be…TMNT 🎃 🐢 🎃 costume deets on my Amazon storefront fyi IYKYK, my mom is and always has been the QUEEN of diy. Like if I find a piece of trash, she’ll turn it into a red carpet gown. My dad, also v creative. So obviously our first Halloween costume had to be DIY. Even if it’s not totally obvious what’s going on with these costumes, I’m so obsessed! What are you guys think? PS: all you need are a few roasting pans from the dollar store, I also got a small one for the baby, some ribbon, green spray paint and some extra tape to cover any spots that might seem a little jagged. Honestly, I think these would be so fun for kids birthday party for a very last-minute, very affordable group Halloween costume! #momlife #hacks #tmnt #tmntcostume #diycostume #halloweencostume #diyhalloweencostume #teenagemutantninjaturtles #familyhalloweencostumes #grouphalloweencostume
