Grab a buddy and join forces with this iconic New Orleans treat. If you don’t have any spare fabric lying around, we bet you could achieve a similar effect by sewing together a few towels and throwing some paint on it. For the coffee, a few pieces of poster board and some brown paint will have you looking like Cafe du Monde in no time.

If you’re handy with a paintbrush, you could paint on a poster board and wear it as an A-frame sign, but for a truly last-minute costume, you could always turn to your trusty printer.

Adding the pot is an extra special touch, but your little one will still be the cutest mudbug without the prop. (Please do not cook your kid.)

No pup? No problem - the same costume can work on anyone, including kids! If you’re not good with a sewing machine, you can always turn to felt to piece this costume together.
Grab some markers and a few sheets of paper and you’re halfway to a super-fun group costume. Or, make it even more special by doing your own neighborhood!
Bonus points if you go as the red light camera in the background!

Up the scare factor this Halloween by going as this infamous swamp creature. This costume is pretty much a walking junk drawer of all your craft supplies, so get to gluing and you’ll have a Rougarific costume in no time!
