Choosing a Halloween costume is easier said than done. You could simply stop by your local costume shop or order something online. But those store-bought costumes can be so pricey and uninspired! You want whether that's a funny pun Halloween costume to get all the laughs or a work-appropriate Halloween costume for the office. That's why we've gathered these easy DIY Halloween costumes for women—all of which are cute, creative, and totally unique.
What's more, many of these ideas don't even require major crafting skills! Yet it's guaranteed that no one will have a costume that's exactly the same, even if they chose the same concept. Plus, you can literally customize everything, from swapping out colors to altering the sizing. Want to create a mother-daughter costume or a family Halloween costume? The more the merrier! You could even dress up like Ree Drummond, which her daughter Paige flawlessly pulled off a couple of years ago.
These ideas are incredibly inexpensive—and come together fast. Ahead, find hilarious, punny looks, delicious-looking foodie getups (yes, there's a pasta costume on this list!), some best friend costumes for you and your bestie, and even a few '80s Halloween costumes that pay homage to Ree's love for the decade (as well as some '70s Halloween costumes). Some of them are great in a pinch if you need a last-minute costume, too. So choose your favorite look and get to crafting!
