DIY Halloween Costumes

Halloween is awesome when you’re in high school or college.

Getting together with friends for a party, seeing everyone's costume ideas and, of course, CANDY!

Campuses go crazy with costumes, celebrations – not to mention – parties.

As long as you’re smart about it (stay safe), you can have a great time.

And every student should be looking forward to it.

Nobody should have to worry about silly things, like buying a Halloween costume.

After all, that’s not what Halloween is about - it's about fun, creativity and celebrating the unique and different - and spending a fortune takes the fun out of the whole occasion.

This Halloween, nix paying a fortune for cheap costumes. Instead, you don't need to look any further than your what's in your very own closet for great costume ideas!

Unsure of how to do this? No worries!

The good news is that Fastweb has compiled a list of costumes that are already hanging in your own closet using items you likely already own!

You may need to borrow an accessory or two from friends but, for the most part, you should be able to find something on the list (yes, we have costumes for guys, too!) that you can throw on last minute and still look - and feel - great wearing.

Plus, people will admire your style and creativity. (There's no need to tell them you threw it together at the last minute, unless you want to, of course!)

Check out the following Halloween costume DIYs, which you can find in your closet – right now!

Other suggested accessories include red and white accents, along with anything factory worker-inspired: think utility boots, heavy denim, canvas, a tool belt, toolbox or tools - we happened to find some fun tool accessories for inspiration, too, if you want to go all out, but you can have an awesome look with just the basics!

Frida Kahlo

This DIY Frida Kahlo Halloween costume inspiration was created on Polyvore.

Channel Frida Kahlo’s look this Halloween with a boho Mexican-inspired maxi dress or skirt, accessorized to the nines with all of the colors of the rainbow.

And, while everyone is in their version of some tiny outfit paired with animal ears a lá Mean Girls, you can rest easy knowing that your costume idea contains class, culture and you still look cute at the same time!

For Frida Kahlo’s makeup and brows:

Create a monobrow, filling in the space between your brows, using an eyebrow pencil. Remember, her browns were lush and bold, so don’t be afraid to apply! Apply neon lipstick, brightly colored blush and bronzer to achieve Frida’s look.

For Frida Kahlo’s hair:
Step 1: Part hair in the middle, separating into two sections.

Step 2: Braid into two ponytail sections.

Step 3: Weave or braid in bright colored ribbons as you braid each ponytail section.

Step 4: Pin each ponytail diagonally across the opposite side of the back of your head, creating a braided “X” across the crown of your head. Pin as thoroughly as possible so the braids feel secure when you move your head swiftly.

Step 5: Pin in faux or fresh flowers or, for the easiest look, place a floral headband so that the flowers sit across the top of your head.
