Mike Garten If you can head to your grotto of thingamabobs, you might be able to pull off this homemade costume inspired by Disney's The Little Mermaid. It just needs a purple top, some green scarves for the skirt, and a shell necklace, plus a hair scarf for a belt or a wig if you want to go all out.
Super Mario Bros.
Mike Garten Super Mario Bros, either the film or the game, makes for a great group Halloween costume, because you can get outfits for so many characters, including Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Toad, Yoshi and Bowser, among others. But you can also easily DIY your own plumbing, Piranha Plant-fighting brothers with a red shirt or green shirt, store-bought hats and mustache sets, blue suspenders and white gloves. (A Fire Flower is optional!)
