Internet searches aren’t helping me out very much, so I decided to ask Fluther.
I’m just looking for some ideas for a good and easy do-it-yourself Halloween costume.
Ideas for all sexes welcome.

A black-eyed pea! just put on light-colored clothes and cut a letter P shape out of construction paper and safety-pin that to your shirt. then take some kind of face paint or something and make a “black eye”. Now you’re a black eyed pea!
My favorite costume from when I was in elementary school is “just woke up guy.” I just wore jammies, slippers, a bathrobe, messed up hair, and carried around a coffee mug. One of my friends did this and used makeup to make dark circles under her eyes and draw stubble on her chin. This is the easiest costume I can think of that isn’t a pun.
A quick trip to any thrift store and a keen eye can turn anyone into a pirate.
Cat fish.
That’s what I’m doing.
Top half cat, bottom half mermaid.
Safety pin two blue bath towels together at the top, poke your head through, put on some white gloves and BAM! You’re Towlie from south park
The American Apparel costume builder is a not-bad source of ideas because all their costumes come from clothes they sell year-round. You could probably find similar things by just shopping around. But the 80s areobics class made me think… what? You guys sell this stuff in real life? The flower costume isn’t bad. It’s basically a red hat and frilly dress with green tights and gloves. I might do something like that this year.

I’ve got a pretty simple one going this year. I’m going to be a dead/zombie housewife. Pale makeup, all of my most conservative clothing put together, a string of pearls and an apron. Whabam! I’m still trying to think of how I should have died. Did I die of boredom, or did someone stab me for having an affair with the maid? Tough call. I don’t know if I want to get blood on my apron.
Take two pen caps and place them on your lower lip so that the long bit of each cap is pointing upward and your upper lip is holding it in place. Make some grunting noise, then you’re a wild boar.
Turn the caps the other way around and say, “Blah!” or “Children of the Night!” and you’re a vampire.
A present. Grab really big box, and then cut holes on the sides, and cut out the bottom. And put a bow on top of your head.
Blue sweatshirt covered in cottonballs, and carry around a spray bottle with a bit of water in it. When people ask you what you are, spray them with the water in your spray bottle and tell them you’re partly cloudy with a chance of showers. Maybe this is only funny to me…
@Les Made me lol4rl! my husband would love to do this one…I’m gonna suggest it tonight
Put yourself in a cardboard box and tell people that you are “in your garage attic all along” and were “doing it as a hoax for the show”.
@aphilotus Or wear a Jiffy Pop (already popped) as a hat & say you’re the Balloon Hoax ;P
Always love the white kitchen Hefty bags with holes cut out for your head and arms, then go as “white trash”....also, my friend’s dad dressed up all in pink one year, then got a child’s plastic seat and cut a hole out the bottom for his head, he was “gum stuck on bottom of a chair”.....yes, these are all punny but always kind of cute, and super easy.
Wear white, get some bandages from the chemit and go as a mummy
My hsuband is going as the Swine Flu (wearing a bathrobe, slippers and a pig nose.)
Hobo….use Vaseline and coffee grinds to make a stubbly beard.
