4 Last-Minute Idiom Halloween Costumes

4 Last-Minute Idiom Halloween Costumes | Club Crafted

4 Last-Minute Idiom Halloween Costumes | Club CraftedWe’re getting close to Halloween, and that means you might be frantically searching for a last-minute costume that feels creative and is (probably) inexpensive. I’ve been in that situation so many times that I’ve got you covered with four last-minute idiom Halloween costumes and that will crack up your friends! These punny costumes are relatively easy to throw together and are still so fun to wear, but I have two favorites that I can’t decide between for our upcoming Halloween party. Maybe I can switch costumes halfway through? These costumes are based on popular sayings you’re sure to recognize (at least if you’re from the US).

1. “When Life Gives You Lemons” Costume

All you need for this costume is something yellow (or not) and a name tag with LIFE written on it. Carry around a basket of lemons to give people, and everyone will immediately understand! 

My “life gives you lemons” costume might be my overall favorite!

To make this costume, embellish any shirt with “blessing” in easy-to-read letters. I used basic vinyl for a quick t-shirt update that is removable, but paint is just as easy. Then simply add a simple disguise like big nose glasses!

Cut large circle (about 24 inches) out of foam board or cardboard using a craft knife. Paint a tan color and draw or glue on “chocolate chips.” Cut two holes about 12 inches away from each other, thread robe through them and tie knots to secure in order to hang the cookie around your neck – the cardboard is very lightweight. Add large glasses and maybe an award ribbon to show off that you’re a “smart cookie!”

Make a large “chip” by cutting an extra large oval out of yellowish paper and creating small accordion folds to give it the appearance of a ruffled chip. Attach to the shoulder of any clothing with a needle and thread or a safety pin. 

This officially wraps up my Halloween posts! Have a happy Halloween, and I’ll see you guys next week!

      All you really need is the chip, but you can add anything else you’d like!

      Hi Dixie, I cut out the words with a Cricut machine. If you don’t have access to one, stick-on felt letters are a great alternative!

WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk abou WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk about the new pins in the shop...but they SOLD OUT in 12 hours instead πŸ˜­πŸ™ Andrew and I are so overwhelmed with the love of the #FIPWarriors community. Thank you to anyone who's purchased a pin to support Milo's treatment! We're so close to the end now! One more batch of pins coming up soon 😽
What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas decorations?! 😭 Half our neighbors already took down their Christmas lights, so I guess the only goal is to not be the LAST one with lights up. How long do you keep up your decorations?
Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holi Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holiday card before it's a week til Christmas, so we can actually send one πŸ€ͺ When we get Christmas cards, I always feel like a little kid getting mail again! Do you send a holiday card??⁠
⁠
(Grab this DIY card holder in the blog archives! πŸ‘‰)
More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHO More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHOCKED to see Milo's pins sell out so quickly. We made 50 with the expectation that we wouldn't sell very many, but I just put in an order for more inventory! 😭⁠
⁠
This time we'll be selling black and white cat "FIP Warrior" pins to help raise money for Milo's treatment. Stay tuned - a pre-sale is coming! Pins will ship again in early January. In the meantime, there's plenty of other products available in the shop! (Visit my @etsy via the link in my bio)
NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your su NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your support of Milo while he goes through FIP treatment! I designed a new enamel pin to help us raise the funds to pay for Milo's treatment...THEN we sold almost all of the pins in just in a few hours! I'm so thankful and in shock of the generosity of our FIP community 😭⁠
⁠
There are a few left and more on the way, so you can SHOP NOW on @etsy and here on IG!! If you want a pin and they are sold out, please tag yourself below! Visit the link in my bio to purchase πŸ›β

"FIP Warrior" is the name we give to cats fighting FIP and the humans who help them, bringing awareness to the disease and possible treatments. Our Warrior Milo is almost halfway through his treatment and we couldn't be more grateful to see him getting better! Every purchase from my shop helps us to pay for his expensive treatments and is so, so appreciated πŸ™πŸΌ
🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since 🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since my last post (oops!) but I had to fit in my one obligatory fall photo before I dive straight into Christmas! If you caught my Stories recently, you may have already seen why I've been so absent...⁠
⁠
Last month, our sweet Milo was diagnosed with a disease called feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). It's very serious and has required our full attention to give him daily injections that should help him recover. The treatment is 84+ days long and has taken a huge emotional toll on us. You can learn more about Milo's FIP story in my profile Highlights!⁠
⁠
Long story short: I've been too emotionally drained from Milo's treatment, my regular work and the crazy world around us to even think about social media 😣 I truly don't know how you fellow creators do it! Hopefully the cheerfulness of Christmastime gives me the urge to create again! (πŸ“Έ cookies made for a project with @spectrumorganic)
