Halloween Costumes and a Trick-or-Treat Tote!

Need last-minute costume ideas? Beyond sticking a load of Peeps all over a black T-shirt (you’re a “chick magnet,” get it?), or drawing a zigzag  black line across a yellow T-shirt (Charlie Brown!), or grabbing a buddy with a red T-shirt to be a Dr. Suess-ian “Thing 1″ and “Thing 2,” there bagare so many other costumes and accessories to make from your stash of old T-shirts using just a pair of scissors (and maybe a needle and thread).

For all you procrastinators, click through for two no-sew tutorials for a superhero cape (or a Dracula cape or a royal cape!) and a hula skirt (luau!) from Generation T: Beyond Fashion in an entry I wrote for the Workman blog…PLUS…ditch that plastic bag by learning to make your very own T-shirt trick-or-treat bag right here!!

Happy Haunting…
