Halloween Hack: Pumpkin Costume in a Pinch

Halloween Hack: Pumpkin Costume in a Pinch

Halloween will be here soon enough, so why not get a leg up on the office party competition with a next-level, budget-friendly costume? We’re here to help you hack your way to greatness with a simple DIY Halloween costume that can come straight from your closet. Today’s costume is so easy, you can bust it out in a pinch — even if you’re expecting. For all of you hip mamas-to-be, here’s a perfect maternity Halloween costume: The pumpkin.


Why carve a pumpkin when you can BE a pumpkin? It’s easy, classy and still gets you points in the clever department.

What you need:

— orange leggings

— orange Boo! t-shirt

— black felt

— optional: mini plastic pumpkin

We found a t-shirt that already had BOO! printed on it and added the Jack-O-Lantern face with hot glue and black felt. So simple.
