I need a "punny" costume

[KarenB]

For the past 2 years, I have dressed up for Halloween at work. Although our school doesn't officially call it that, we allow students and staff to wear crazy and goofy clothes that day. One year I attached Smarties candy to my pants and I was a smarty pants. Another year I had a giant quarter on my back and I was a quarter back. These were SO simple and allowed me to do my job without any "stuff" getting in the way. Plus the kids (intermediate grades) liked to guess what I was in the morning.

So you creative DISers, what should I be this year?

You could wear an egg costume (white craft foam with a yellow circle for the yolk), and wear devil horns on your head--"deviled egg".

Goodie Two Shoes?? (candy on your shoes?)

I guess you can't be a smart "butt". -- The students would love it, but that wouldn't work too well with the principals.

Maybe toe jam--- get some flip flops and paint your toenails some awful color (you can mix a bunch of colors together) and carry a thing of jam with you.

One year my sister dressed up like a cat - black sweatsuit, tail, ears on a headband, drew on whiskers, etc.

Then she attached wadded up pieces of paper, empty styrofoam cups, etc. to her outfit.

She said she was "kitty litter".

These are great! Maybe I can do all of them and have to kids list as many as they can. I could give a little prize to the one that has the most???

Put the letter "P" in your shirt and give yourself a black eye...a black eyed pea!

 

[MushyMushy]

Wear two dice on your shirt and carry around a map. Paradise Lost.

(DH came up with that one)

Get another teacher in on it and wear t-shirts that say "venice" and dark glasses...you could be venician blinds.

Here's a website with a few

I like the 'crack of dawn' one!

Not necessarily appropriate for school but...really cute. Put on a white garbage bag and attach some garbage to the outside of it...then you can be white trash!

 

[EdiePA]

Attach the small boxes of cereal to a shirt. Pierce each one with a knife (I used the plastic picnic ones) and for effect, add some fake blood.

Ta, Da! You're a "Cereal Killer"

 

[milkabum]

Wear red and stuff mayonaise in your mouth. BANG. You're a pretty pink pimple.

Not so "punny", but close enough.

And if you don't want to loose your job You could put a picture of a sheep on your pant leg & be leg of lamb.

A couple years ago this is what I did...

Wear a red ribbon (or cloth, but solid red would do) around your neck, add a flannel shirt, jeans and boots...to give that country flair...and voila...you're a "Redneck girl"...thank you Gretchen Wilson.

And a couple of other ideas that I've used...love those "punny" costumes myself. lol

World's Largest Dust Bunny...wear grey clothes (sweats work great), add one of those large spider webs for decorating with different things you might find behind the sofa...cheerios, money, spiders or other bugs, etc. Wear a pair of bunny ears and a tail. (When I wore this DH dressed in jeans and a t-shirt and carried a broom and dust pan like a janitor.)

DH and did a few "couple punny" costumes...someone mentioned the "Deviled Egg"...easy to do with white sweats and a yellow felt yolk pinned to your belly, add the horns, tail and pitch fork...and you're done. So, I wore that and then DH went as "Deviled Ham". I put him in all pink clothes, a pig snout, horns, tail, and pitch fork...easy peasy.

Another year we did an intellectual couples costume. One of us wore all black with "476 AD - 1100 AD" written on the front. (I used black felt with a silver glitter glue pen to do the writing that way I could just pin it on to the shirt.) The other person wore all white clothes with "1715 AD - 1799 AD" and a light bulb hanging around their neck. What were we? Why, "The Dark Ages" and "The Age of Englightenment".

I've seen a costume for "Quarterback" where you enlarge the image of a quarter and attach it to your back.

Have fun and do tell us what you chose to go dressed as!!!!

last year at my halloween party we had someone dress up as a leaf blower. He had a leaf in front of his face..it was attached to a hat and he would blow on it. I thought it was very clever!

Two ideas:

1. A long brown robe & rope belt (monk) with bags of potato chips attached - a chip monk

2. A bright blue shirt with white cottonballs attached, carry a spray bottle of water - partly cloudy with a chance of showers.

Have fun with whatever you decide!

Wear green clothes and put an "NV" on your shirt.

You'll be green with envy!

Saw a couple this weekend that wore black sweatsuits with glow necklaces attached in the shape of a stick figure body - attached a few together to make the long body part, a couple down their arms and down their legs and a big circle one around their head. Now, this was an adult only party so they also were as anatomically correct as they could be using glow necklaces. They looked really cool - especially outside in the dark.
