  • Costume creations: Simple do-it-yourself Halloween costume ideas By Katie Rath * WCnewsmagazine | know that we college students like to procras- tinate, and so | dont doubt that even though Halloween is right around the corner, you read- ers may not have a costume. Or perhaps you're dead broke and cant afford even the pirate cos- tume from Wal-mart. Never fear! There are plen- ty of easy and cheap costumes you can make for yourself. The Scarecrow- A faded pair of jeans, an oversized flannel shirt, and a floppy hat are the base for this getup. Stuff your shirt with newspaper or plastic bags. Then randomly stick dead grass or straw in the cuffs of your jeans or the collar of your shirt. Ive even seen students go a little further and pull a broomstick through the sleeves to make it look like they were hang- ing. However, this might not be conducive to rid- ing in a car, eating candy, or avoiding hitting your friends. ; The Mummy- Toss on a white shirt and white leggings. Khaki or light-colored pants can work, too. Then wrap yourself in white gauze. Note: Toilet paper can work, but if you plan on moving, the paper is prone to tearing. Next, paint your face white and draw on age lines. Lastly, splash some green paint on yourself and call it mold. A Bunch of Grapes- As a WCU student, you probably have more than one purple t-shirt. So throw it on, and safety pin purple balloons all over the shirt. Extra points if you paint your face purple, too. Static Cling- Dress yourself in head-to- toe black or white, then safety pin socks, t-shirts, panty hose, and dryer sheets to your outfit. The Clown- Grab some baggy clothes and decorate them with puff paints, glitter, se- quins, and rick-rack. Painting your face white and using red lipstick to color your nose add to this classic outfit. Jack-in-the-box- Find a large box and paint or spray-paint it bright colors. Dress yourself like a clown (see above) and pull the box over your torso. Add a crank and you're ready to go! The Tourist- Guys, don a bright Hawai- ian shirt and khaki shorts. Girls, opt for a brightly colored dress and floppy hat. Dont forget your camera and maps, and always remember to look lost. 80s Miss America- All right, you thrift shop fiends. This costume is right up your al- ley. Find a ridiculous formal dress or bridesmaid dress. Then slip on a pair of heels, oversized jewelry, and a crown if you want. Overdo your makeup and that fuchsia lipstick. Finally, get some white ribbon and write Miss America on it before slinging it over your shoulder. And you must practice your wave! The Ghost- If you honestly cant think of anything else, the bed sheet ghost is a constant standby. But maybe you should mix it up. Color on makeup and attach earrings. Or glasses and a derby hat. Maybe add a mustache and beard? Feel free to dress up this classic style! So there you go folks! Regardless of whether you're broke or just plain lazy, you now have no excuse for not dressing up! Dont be afraid to ex- press your creativity, if you dare! This Is IT! Come and Discover What IT Is If is the radical, world-changing, life- transforming love of God found in the IT is scheduled for Thursday, November & at 7pm in the iilusions night club at WCU Facebook Group: This Is IT!
