7 Days to Halloween

Last minute Halloween Costumes
 
Farmer
Simple overalls or suspenders with a plaid shirt and a straw hat.

 Scientist Smarty Pants

 Cute Frog Prince and Princess Hoddies
Here is the tutorial; courtesy of Martha Stewart: http://www.marthastewart.com/271461/hoodie-costumes-frog-prince-and-princess She also has a tutorial for Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf.

Hippies
Another simple idea for clothes you may already have in your closet, or your parents' closet. The mustache is a great touch.

 A Knight made out of tin foil.
Medusa
I thought this was so cool! I might try this just for fun. Here is the tutorial:  http://www.marthastewart.com/271526/medusa-hair
Miss Universe
 All you need is a fancy (sparkly) dress, a crown, and sash.
 
Nerds
The nerd costume revolves around over-sized glasses, nerdy hair, and a tucked in shirt. This is a fun one for teens.
 A Sunbeam
This one is a little fancy, but a felt sun on the front of a yellow sweater would do the trick.

Stick Person
I love this idea! My old young women's leader's son did this one year. For this costume you want to dress in all black, and glue glow sticks on body to made a stick figure.

Spider Princess
Another cute idea. Here is the tutorial: http://www.marthastewart.com/271940/paper-pumpkin-costume-cat-costume-and-sp?page=1 My favorite part is the spider web wings.

 
Scarecrow
Just some straw and patched up clothes.
Twister
This was another really creative idea, especially in Texas!

Super Hero

I hope this list gives you a few good ideas for Halloween costumes.
