We asked Y-O-U about your favorite DIY costumes, and boy did you give us the dirt! From creepy to cool to outta-the-box, here are our favorites:

 

“Last year, I was Flo from the Progressive commercials. I got a white shirt and wore sweat pants, and got a white apron, wrote "Progressive" on the front, and I printed out her name tag and button from the Progressive website, and wore a Bump It and red lipstick. I got so many compliments.” – Zoe

 

“A zombie Taylor Swift. Add tire tracks to your outfit to look run over.” – Hannah

 

“Probably an autograph page: just white jeans, a white t-shirt with the word “Autographs” and lots of sharpies! My friends had a blast writing all over me.” – Audrey

 

“A toothpaste tube one of my friends wore. It was cool! She had an old lampshade for the cap and a perfectly sewn up sheet with the printed word toothpaste on it. She looked awesome! Toothpaste can be awesome, right?” - Amber

 

“Venus Fly Trap. I wore all green clothing, cut a hole in the bottom of a huge plastic round bin (for the pot) and glued fake plants along the inside edge of the pot. Then, I took 2 pieces of stiff fabric and spray painted them green. I stuck red/pink fabric on the top of the bottom one, and cut out white triangles of fabric and stuck them on the edges for teeth. Then I connected the two pieces by rope so that my head was in between the two pieces! Everyone still talks about that costume.” - Anna

 

“My craziest celeb costume inspiration was dressing up as Adam Sandler from Big Daddy. I wore the "Suba Steve" costume in 5th grade and won my classroom costume contest!” - Allison

I made a head band with wires coming up and attached a red paper cardboard cowboy hat to it. "I'm thinking Arby's." BEST COSTUME EVER.

One of my friends, Madison, dressed up as Flo from the Progressive Insurance commercials for last night's Halloween dance at my school, and she ended up winning the costume contest! It was so cool! Smile

One year I was a sushi roll.

Last year I saw someone as Flo too! And I was going to be the toothpaste once too! My best DIY one though was 2 years ago. I took a plain white (big) box and cut a hole in the bottom for my head and made it look like a dryer! It was cool haha. Laughing

I was Pippy Longstocking when I was younger: extremely long socks (mismatched prints), bright red braids that went out to the side with a hanger, shorts, and a tshirt with a bunch of patches!
