Halloween DIY Costumes

With Halloween just around the corner, Savvy Student has come up with a scary good list of DIY costumes that are sure to be a hit this year. As these are mostly homemade they will likely save you both time and money, so it's a win, win!

Some of the best costumes we thought of had to do with pop culture, events, and news of 2012.

- Olympic Spirit: Get a group of people together and be the Fab 5: All you need is a  gymnastic leotard and a ribbon around your neck with your very own "gold medal!" The more Team USA spirit you have the better! You could also dress up as Michael Phelps, Ryan Lochte, or Usain Bolt.

-Politics: In light of Mitt Romney's recent debate gaffe, you can be Big Bird, or even Fired Big Bird. You'll need to wear all yellow, get some yellow boas, and some orange knee socks. If you have friends that are also looking for costumes, there are plenty of Sesame Street characters you can be: Elmo, Cookie Monster, or even Oscar the Grouch!

-2012 in TV: Reality TV has also offered up some good costume ideas: TLC's Toddler's in Tiara's has created some great costume options. All you need is a dress, a crown, and a pageant sash. You can also go pageant girl specific, and dress up as Honey Boo Boo Child!

-Movies of 2012: 2012 has been quite the year for movies. Try dressing up as  Katniss Everdeen from the Hunger Games, or a super hero from The Avengers, including Iron Man, The Hulk, Thor, or Captain America. For example, for the Hulk, you would just need to wear green tights, a ripped shirt, and purple shorts. Other popular movies were The Dark Knight Rises, The Amazing Spider-Man, Men in Black, The Lorax, and Magic Mike, which all offer up some great costume ideas.

-Pop Culture: You could also dress up as some of the most prevalent pop culture references of 2012 such as: Tan Mom ( think orange face paint and lots of make up), love birds Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, or Snookie and her baby.


Whatever you choose, Savvy Student wishes you a fun filled Halloween!
