Quick & Dirty - DIY Halloween Costumes for procrastinators

If your planned costume proved far too involved for your timetable (or skill set), or you just never got around to figuring out what you wanted to be for Halloween, you may find yourself scrambling at the last minute to find something, anything to don for that weekend party.

We usually seek to post things of beauty and grace on this blog -- not so today, where we offer a hodge-podge of ideas for the truly desperate.  Should such desperation apply to either you or your man, we hope that these wiki DIY ideas will inspire you to come up with something of your own. You may not win the costume contest, but you'll avoid having Halloween tricks played on you for being a costumeless party-pooper.
