We've all been there... It's one day before Halloween and you're at a loss for a costume. Your child changed their mind about what they want to dress as or you simply forgot that Halloween was so close. And you're stressing out because you had an entire Pinterest board of costumes for little Susie for the next seven Halloweens, and didn't make a single one. Well, here you are. You have no time to go to the store to get the supplies for their wardrobe change. You and your child are now panicking.
Please, panic no more.
The following costumes can be compiled from items around the house. Yes, these items will actually be things that you keep in your home. I'm not expecting you to have 30 yards of tulle or a lime green wig laying around for your convenience. You may not have the exact supplies, but, improvise!

Don't stress too much over a costume. Raid your closets and toy box and I think you will be surprised at what you can come up with. I don't know about you, but where I live, my kids end up wearing jackets anyways! Have a fun and safe Halloween!
