Need a couple costume this Halloween? Here\u2019s one that\u2019s great for any hunters out there (sorry Bambi). For the hunter, just grab your nerf gun and camo clothes and you are all set!

If you\u2019re feeling extra crafty, Click Here<\/a><\/strong><\/em>, this website will show you have to make some amazing antlers.

Here\u2019s another costume that looks great with a couple or individual. The Buzz skirt can be made using the no sew slip knot method with tulle. Watch this video<\/a><\/strong><\/em> to see it demoed. The rest of the costume she made using felt or fabric scraps. You can sew these pieces on or you can even hot glue gun them if you aren\u2019t confident in your sewing ability. The Woody costume was created by drawing brown checkered pattern on a mustard collared shirt. The vest was made by cutting off the sleeves and middle of a white t-shirt and attaching felt pieces for the cow spots. Wear an old pair of shoes and write \u201cAndy\u201d on the bottom to complete this adorable look. This idea may take a little longer than the other costumes but it\u2019s definitely worth the effort!<\/p>\n

Zoinks! This throwback group look is a definite win! This Mystery Gang even won funniest costumes for a contest with Disney. Most of these looks can be made with clothes you already have. Scooby\u2019s ears were made with felt glued to a headband and his collar is a real dog collar with a paper \u201cSD\u201d attached. But don\u2019t forget the most important part of these looks: ascots!<\/p>\n
