Everybody loves a good dress up party and wanting to be the best, so with halloween just around the corner I thought I’d find you some of the best DIY dress-up costumes I could find.<\/p>\n

Here are some of our favourite alternative DIY costumes.<\/p>\n

1. Sweet tooth<\/b><\/p>\n

Yummy enough to eat? Well maybe not but it sure does look fantastic and it’s easy to make because all you need is brown paper, toilet paper and colourful streamers.<\/p>\n

2. Pac-man <\/b><\/p>\n

If you have a group why not get together and go as the characters from pac-man. You’ll be chasing each other all night!<\/p>\n

3. Or… Tetris<\/b><\/p>\n

This is definitely more original and you could even challenge yourself to see how many different combinations you can make.<\/p>\n

4. Barbie Doll<\/b><\/p>\n

\"barbie<\/p>\n

I had barbie doll costume made for a dress up party by an Airtasker and I’ll never make a costume again because it was so great not to have to worry about it. Not to mention I won best dressed!<\/p>\n

5. Dunkin Donuts<\/b><\/p>\n

Costumes playing of brand names or couple costumes are always entertaining. Think bacon and eggs or cookie monster.<\/p>\n

6. Lego<\/b><\/p>\n

\"halloween-costume-lego-diy\"
\nSource:<\/p>\n

This is possibly the best one yet because everyone as a kid played with lego, plus there are so many outfit combinations.<\/p>\n

7. Snacks anyone?<\/b><\/p>\n

\"halloween-costume-vendingmachine\"

Wearing this would make you the party favourite and could even see you early a couple of dollars (only joking), but it doesn’t get much more creative than this.<\/p>\n

8. Xenomorph<\/b><\/p>\n

\"wine<\/p>\n

Whether it’s halloween or you just really like aliens, this is an Airtasker-made costume and perhaps the best one we’ve seen yet.<\/p>\n

Don’t have time to make a costume? There are plenty of Airtasker happy to take up the challenge, I know that I’ll never look back!<\/p>\n
