Easy DIY Halloween Costumes From Your Closet – Indianapolis News | Indiana weather | Indiana Traffic

Halloween costumes don’t have to be expensive or require last-minute trips to the stores. For those struggling to find an outfit, WISH-TV beauty host Temara Payton offers easy DIY ideas using items you already have in your closet. “The key is to find one detail that reminds people of a character or theme and then build around it,” Payton explained.

Popular last-minute ideas include iconic characters like Danny Zuko from Grease, which only requires black pants, a white t-shirt, and a leather jacket. Sports jerseys are also suitable for fast suits; “Any Pacers or Caitlin Clark jersey will do,” she suggested, “just throw it on and you’re good to go.”

Some creative and inexpensive options include an “egg yolk” (a yellow dot on a white T-shirt) or a “soap bubble” costume with small balloons attached to a T-shirt that says “soap.” For a playful touch, costumes based on real-life roles, such as a Target or Starbucks employee, add a humorous and casual touch.

Payton encourages everyone to have fun and get into the Halloween spirit. “Wear it with confidence,” she said. “If all else fails, just recycle last year’s suit.”
