Easy Costume Ideas--No Sewing Required

A few years ago a group of teenagers came to my house "trick or treating." They were all wearing their street clothes. Come on. If you want candy, at least come up with a costume. In this same neighborhood (probably the same kids), a group came to my house at Christmastime "caroling" to raise money for the school. About 5 minutes later I saw them buying candy and soda at the convenience store down the street. Rude...

Anyway, the costume doesn't have to be fancy. We came up with a few just this morning. Here are some ideas.

Humpty Dumpty
Equipment Needed: One very healthy baby, a onesie that's too small, and baby "mom jeans"
Still Needed: A beanie and a very large belt buckle

A Knight
Equipment Needed: Balloons from the very talented balloon artist at Pizza Street. (Seriously, he's really good. You should see his little mermaid.)

A Popsicle
Equipment Needed: Upside down tote bag, pajama pants, a really good imagination, and probably a seeing eye dog to lead you around

Sad Purple Dog
Equipment Needed: Pajama shirt and a pouty 2-year-old

Virgin Mary
Equipment Needed: Pajama shirt
Equipment Still Needed: Something virginal to cover her nakedness
