You don't have to call your mom or friend to help with your home made costumes. Use these simple no-sew ideas for a great Halloween Costumes.

No sew Halloween costume #1. The ghost costume made from a sheet. When you think of a quick no-sew costume, the first thing that come to mind is a ghost. It is true. A ghost costume is the simplest and easiest to make by just cutting eyeholes. For greater visibility, cut a larger section out for the entire face, and paint your face white instead. 

No sew Halloween costume #2. The ghost costume made from Tulle Fabric: Take the ghost costume a step further by creating it from tulle fabric. You will need to purchase an entire bolt for under $20.00. Measure the length of twice your body. Cut several length of this fabric and layer it one on top of the other, opened to full length. Find the center and make a whole to put your head through. Take one final length of the fabric, but do not cut it. Place this top layer over your head. You should be able to see through it just fine without cutting eyeholes. You can add glow in the dark paint to your costume, (around all edges) if you wish. 

No sew Halloween costume #3. A sarong or toga costume: A sarong is made by tying a piece of fabric at the waist, or crossing it over the front of the body and tying it behind the neck. A sarong is a great basis for costumes like an Egyptian Queen or King, a Hawaiian dancer, or a roman guard. It will also make a great toga costume. 

No sew Halloween costume #4. A biblical costume: You can make a simple tunic or poncho without sewing. Take your fabric, measured to be either twice the length from shoulder to hip, or shoulder to foot. Fold it in half, and make slit large enough to fit your head. The slit should be front to back, not side to side. Secure your tunic with a robe, sash, or belt. This tunic can be used for any biblical costume. In white fabric, it would also be a great start for an angel’s costume. In black, you could use it as a witch’s costume.
