Please help me think of something I can dress up as for Halloween that doesn't cost loads of money or time to prepare?

We are going to the in laws for a Halloween party with the kids on Saturday. I still haven't thought about what to dress up as but I can't spend a lot. I looked at ready made outfits but £30-£50 for 2 hours of wear isn't feasible!

Any ideas that are easy to do when I am also looking after a toddler and newborn?

Cheers!

Ghost.

Wear white, whomp some white face paint on face, hands and hair.

That's my plan!

How about a sexy witches cat? Black boots/heels, black leggings/tights and a black top then stuff a pair of black tights with some rolled up newspaper for a tail and get a head band and attach two cardboard cut-out ears to it. You can pen some whiskers onto your cheeks and blacken the tip of your nose. Voila! Simple, affordable, appropriate and easy!

Last year I wore a black top, black trousers, and a pair of red sequinned devil's horns from tescos with a pair of long black satin gloves and sexy make up. Cheap as chips!

Dead bride? Cheapo charity-shop dress, veil, fake blood, white face make up

Thanks for the suggestions but I'm now going as a witch! I have a black dress and today I bought a witches broom (60p), witches nose (50p) and a witches hat (£1) hoorah!
