4. Paper Dolls
For this fun idea of funny Halloween costumes to make, you can grab your friends or go by yourself.
Use old cardboard boxes to trace the outline of a dress, shirt, or skirt, and then cut out the “outfit” base.
Use hot glue or a spray adhesive to apply the cloth material to the cut pieces of cardboard.
Once it’s dry, ensure that you cut the fabric as close as possible to the cardboard edges.
Use hot glue to add buttons, zippers, or other fun accessories to your costume.
Glue ribbon in a U-shape around the shoulder to hang around the neck.
Hot glue the doll tabs diagonally on the edge of your costume pieces.
Get a tight-fitting dress that matches your skin tone and tie the pieces on!
5. Balloon Darts Costume
This one is both a costume and a game! Start with a white presentation board.
Add a “Balloon Darts” sign and a decorative chain of fair tickets.
Create stripes on the board using a blue painter’s tape. The strips should be spaced about 1 ½ inches apart.
You can paint your own stripes if you want.
Make five columns of four holes in the middle of the board. Blow up small dart balloons, then stick the balloon ties through the holes.
Mount hanging monkey prizes on the outside of the dart balloon. Use twist ties to make them glued to the board.
Open two holes at the top of the board to create a ribbon that can be worn around the neck.
Create a simple drugstore headband by attaching a strip of paper tickets with hot glue. Then, add a couple of balloon darts.
6. “All My Exes” Group Costume

You can use some jeans and a cowboy hat if you have them, and you’ll be good to go.
