The Halloween flavor can strike you at any time. But if you’ve been moved to go out for tricks and treats at the last minute, a smart costume may be hard to find. Never fear, we have some rush and easy costumes that you can assemble with items from home to help you look your best on Halloween.

Powerful Hero Costume (boys 4-6)

If your small guy swears he has powers, gratify him with this magnificent camouflage.

* Buy your youngster a individualized superhero cape with his initials on the backside! Pair it with one of his colored sweatsuits and tack on a couple of shining felt stars to the front of the sweatshirt.

* Supply his rain boots and a pair of swim goggles or over-sized shades and he’ll be set to rescue Halloween!

Fashionista Pop Star Costume (easy for pre-tweens, 7+)

Make her aspirations come true (for at least one night)! Let her get dressed as her fashionable singing superstar, as sure to be hit as this is a breathtaking attire. Check out these Halloween ideas to produce this costume.

* Ornament a pair of old denims with sparkle spray and a few quirky iron-ons. Apply fashionable peace signs, studded designs and more.

* Ornament a plain, long sleeve t-shirt in her treasured color. We love this “Rock Princess” iron-on or she can draw on her own designs with sparkly material paint or other embellishments.

* Grab her favorite boots and sunglasses and trendy costume jewelry to complete the look!

Dog Get Ups

My favored canine costume is the wiener. Complete this idea with tomato ketchup, table mustard, and pickle costumes for a fast food entourage on Halloween.

Hop in a limousine and travel celebrity style by costuming your crew as gossip stars! Take a long blonde wig, lend a little doggie with bows and bling, and you’ve got the qualifications of a hotel heiress. A papa with a baby doll, and you’re the recently dumped mate of a star, embroiled in a custody fight. Have a couple of folks do the paparazzi function, ideal with flashing photographic cameras.
