To not solve 13 year olds Halloween fancy dress

[fruitstick]

DS needs a costume for tomorrow.

Nothing I have suggested is suitable.

I can't do anything about Amazon delivery times

We are skint.

I can't sew.

DS is upset but I've said he needs to be creative.

However - if you have any great free ideas I'll take 'em.

At 13 he shouldn't need a Halloween costume

iamq 37 year old lion today!!

😂 The idea of the majority of teenagers at a house party leaving to go trick or treating is ridiculously naive. Unless people are handing out cider and Bacardi breezers instead of sweet these days.

Cos people always have Halloween parties on the weekend nearest Halloween!

Trick or treating is for actual Halloween only. And you don't have to answer the door anyway!

My DD is going to a Halloween party tonight?!

When DS was a cub he went in old jeans and an old white T-shirt that I splattered with Poundshop blood and slashed with scissors
Cost:£1

When I collected him he said that there was a competition for the best costume but he wasn't allowed to enter as it was only for those wearing home made costumes

White sheet, large white t-shirt, safety pins, and sandals make a Roman. For a laurel wreath, sew or staple rhododendron leaves to a ribbon long enough to tie around your head.

Because teen/adult parties tend to happen at the weekend and not on a school night obviously. Trick or treating will be Monday

Nah. A cereal killer. Covers himself in cereal boxes.

Mine of similar age has found an old white t-shirt and written on it "error 404 Halloween costume not found" I thought it was hilarious 😂

I get some green hair spray from the supermarket/poundland and do something with a white shirt to become a zombie or Joker.

Just to warn you, my DD poured fake blood over her head and covered her arms and legs etc with it. It stained, despite showering that night and twice the next day, and she had to go to school like it last year!!

Do bruises with makeup. Dead easy

If they are, I'm going trick or treating. Can you still get Bacardi Breezers? I loved them!

@Theimpossiblegirl I found them on holiday in Greece this year and was so excited! I had to buy one of each flavour and just the smell on opening made me feel 16 again 🙃

Variety pack of cereal pinned to his clothes and some fake blood thrown over the boxes he's a cereal killer

😂👏Epic!!

Gosh what a kill joy...is xmas and easter the same policy. My 10yr old loves haloween and dressing up.. shame you would hate him knocking on your door but I guess his 5yr old sister just makes your grade

My friend once had a brilliant costume!!!! She was a spider!!! Black clothes and then cheap black thighs filled with random crap hanging off a string (glued!).

Check online. Trust me! It looks amazing!

We are skint this year so went with homemade although we are Halloween mad all year! I have one dd (12) in a white dress of mine from when I was significantly slimmer and a repurposed food cover net thingy and a bunch of dead flowers nicked from the garden as the Corpse Bride. The other is Sally from NBC with a random assortment of fabrics glued on an old summer dress and stitches drawn on with what I hope isn't sharpie. My nephew is a werewolf made out of spudbags and makeup (and what his mum also hopes isn't sharpie). I'm still ill after having Covid but I was planning on being Winnie Sanderson because I have a green medieval type dress that I could have got away with and unknown to DH he was going to be a pirate with some face paints and scarves we have anyway (he's probably relieved I'm still feeling crap!)

Toilet paper mummy?

This gets my vote! Comparatively cheap and so much fun. Just don't go out in the rain...

Loo roll - mummy

It's his issue though.

Black clothes, ninja T-shirt mask www.instructables.com/How-to-make-the-BEST-ninja-mask/. Done.

Black Tshirt and jogging bottoms. Masking tape on the clothes so he looks like a skeleton. Some sphagetti dyed pink with paint or food dye ....bucket of worms!

Saw this today and thought it was really cheap and clever!

Bandage his head/ face with gaps for nose eyes mouth , rub coffee on on the train x can u pickme up in 15min please x to mimic dried blood , old school shirt same with collar up ,
