If youre about to attend a Halloween party or a costume party but dont have anything to wear and dont have time for an elaborate costume you can often get away with very simple ideas. Some quirky costume ideas can be very easy to pull off and whats even better is that a last minute costume idea relies on things you already have. While it might be easy to just buy a readymade costume for your party some of the best costume ideas are homemade affairs that require no sewing. Here are a few ideas to get you started.

Monday Blues

You know that feeling of waking up on a Monday and wishing all you could do is roll right back into bed and not come out? Well this costume idea takes that feeling and makes it into a fun costume that everyone is sure to understand.

Put on a bathrobe over your cutest pajamas and mess up your hair with some hair gel. Then roll up a newspaper and put it in your bathrobe pocket, instant Monday blues. If youd like you can even carry a pillow around with you, or add some realism by putting some dark eye shadow under your eyes to create eye bags.

Abstract Art

Ever wished you could look like a work of art? Nows your chance. This costume idea is fairly simple to put together and requires minimum effort as well. For this costume idea you will need some old clothes that you dont mind getting dirty. Splatter paint all over the clothes in patterns. When youre about to go to the party hang a picture frame around your neck or hold it up against you, you are now a piece of art!

James Bond

One costume idea that is also fairly easy to put together is the James Bond costume idea. This works great for couples. You will be the hit of the party as Bond and sexy Bond girl. Most of us have a suit and nice cocktail dress lying around.

This is an easy look to get into after work. All you need to add to the effect is a martini glass or a toy gun. Have your Bond girl carry the martini glass while you hold onto the toy gun. Whip out a sexy pose when anyone asks what youre supposed to be. Another variation on this costume idea is to play the boss and the secretary. Instead of a cocktail dress your partner can come dressed in sexy office clothes.
