Happy (almost) Halloween, Tongal friends! Tongal HQ has been getting into the spooky spirit, but we needed inspiration in the costume department. So, we decided to turn to your Tongal Videos for ideas. If you’re still scrambling to put together that perfect Halloween outfit, here are some solid options with a hat tip to some of your all-time favorite Tongal Videos.
Costume Idea: Bad Toothbrush
Project: Bad Toothbrush Viral Video Project
If you’re looking for a costume that says “scary...yet scandalous,” this one's for you.
What you need: Fabric, cardboard for the headpiece, scissors, and plastic straws for the bristles (get these in yellow for that “bad” touch). If you’re into DIY, check out this useful post. You can also buy this costume pre-made.
Costume Idea: Swiss Alpine Man
Project: Ricola “I Found Chrütercraft” Video Project
This one is bound to be popular – everyone loves a dude who’s brave enough to rock some lederhosen! It’s also a great “couples costume” or you could go nuts and get the whole family involved.
What you need: Some Alpine costumes and a beer stein.
Costume Idea: Thanksgiving Turkey and Hanukkah Dreidel
Project: Manischewitz Celebrate Thanksgivukah Video Project
You and your BFF will wow the crowd as this beloved duo. Plus, if you bring the Manischewitz – people will want to spin the dreidel all night long!
What you need: There are tons of turkey costumes out there on Amazon. However, we think Boston Costume's option is a winner. For the dreidel you’ll need a cardboard box, scissors, and blue and yellow construction paper.
Costume Idea: Tron Guy
Project: Stuck on Duck Video Project
With a nod to Jay Maynard, put on some Daft Punk and get to taping.
What you need: Lots of Glow in the Dark Duck Tape. Watch this video for a complete supply list, and this one on how to make the costume.
Costume Idea: Grime-Fighter (alias: Q-tip)
Project: Q-tips Video Project
This costume is creative and comfy – 80% of it is sweatpants and a sweatshirt! Or, you can go all out and wear a full bodysuit...we won't judge.
What you need: White sweatpants, sweatshirt and shoes, cotton batting, white face paint, a light colored beanie and a black half face mask to give it that "Grime-Fighter" touch. Here are some detailed instructions we found on how to put it all together.
Costume Idea: Woman Cursed with White Marks
Project: The Adios White-Marks Video Project
You're too busy to make something fancy, but still want to get big laughs. With this one, you could bring home the prize for “most original costume” this Halloween.
What you need: A dress you aren’t in love with anymore, and some deodorant (just not Secret Clear Gel, duh!).
Costume Idea: Star Wars Characters
Project: The Force for Fun Project
You don't have to buy an expensive costume to show your Lucas loyalty.
What you need: Try using cinnamon buns for Princess Leia’s hair, an illustrated paper bag for Chewbacca’s face, and stacked Pringles cans as light sabers. Get creative!
Costume Idea: Tongal's Most Loyal Fan
Project: Ride The Bull
Prove yourself as Tongal's most loyal fan with this extreme costume – it is Halloween after all. Go big or go home, am I right?
What you need: A tattoo artist...or a really great Sharpie.
