When Life Gives You Lemons:

Identity Thief:
- Materials: A pack of “Hello, My Name Is” stickers, a black beanie, and a black mask.
- How to: Stick multiple “Hello, My Name Is” stickers on your shirt. Wear a black beanie and mask to hide your true identity. Ask everyone at the party to write their names on your stickers, and you’ve just become an identity thief – literally!
Classic Ghost:
- Materials: White sheet or pillowcase, scissors, and a marker.
- How to: Cut out two eye holes in the sheet, trim the edges for a tattered look, and draw a spooky face with the marker. Drape it over yourself, and voilà, you’re a classic ghost!
Mummy Wrap:
- Materials: White sheets or gauze, safety pins, and patience.
- How to: Tear or cut the sheets into strips, then wrap them around your body and secure them with safety pins. Rub some black eyeshadow on your eyes to achieve more of the un-dead look. Leave a few ends hanging for that authentic mummy appearance.
Crazy Cat Lady:
- Materials: Pajamas, stuffed animals (cats), and a robe.
- How to: Don your pajamas, robe, and attach stuffed animals (cats) to your outfit, whether by pinning them or placing them in your robe’s pockets. Add some “crazy” makeup and put curlers in your hair. Now get ready to scare all the neighborhood kids away!
Zombie:
- Materials: Old clothes, makeup (white face paint, black eyeliner), and fake blood (optional).
- How to: Tear up your old clothes, apply white face paint with smudged eyeliner, and if you have fake blood, add it for extra gore. Mess up your hair and spray it with hairspray to get that classic disheveled look. You’re now a convincing zombie!
Hippie:
- Materials: Bell-bottom pants, tie-dye shirt, headband, and peace sign accessories.

Nerd or Geek:
