Don’t Have a Halloween Costume Yet? A Paper Bag Will Do!

Just two more days until Halloween and if you don’t have a Halloween costume yet, we’ll let’s face it you’re a procrastinator! But don’t worry; if you have a brown paper bag, the kind you get from the supermarket, and a pair of scissors, then you have a legitimate Halloween costume in the making.

Actor Shia LaBeouof sported a paper bag several years ago after his notorious car flip-hand injury, some times a famous guy wants to go out without getting noticed – although, somehow the paparazzi still figured it all out!

Based on Idaho Larry Craig’s 2007 indiscretions when he was accused of lewd conduct in a public bathroom, another funny paper bag costume was born. A paper bag worn over the head in shame is so apropos and a clever way to make fun of someone infamous – try drawing on a Charlie Sheen face, Snookie face or someone else in the spotlight of shame.

Really, you can do anything you want with a paper bag to create whatever Halloween costume you desire. From happy smiley faces to the latest cartoon characters, go crazy with paints, glitter, feathers and other craft materials to make a quick, easy and inexpensive Halloween costume.
