Today, our high school students came to school dressed in great looking, creative Halloween costumes. I’m sure some were last minute Halloween costume ideas. The teens really enjoyed dressing up, and I must say they were in good taste…nothing inappropriate. In the past, there have been a few who tried to see what they could get away with.  Fortunately, this year there were no last minute changes that had to be made to their Halloween costumes. Observing them today gave me ideas to share with you to help you find last minute Halloween costume ideas. Read below to find 15 easy, creative Halloween costume ideas that can be used to put together last minute costumes…

My costume?  I may be a Nana who dresses like a teenager…from the back, I’ll look like a young girl, but when I turn around…surprise!….an old Nana with blacked-out teeth, wrinkles, wart on my nose….but who knows?  It will be a last minute Halloween costume creation, so I might come up with something I hadn’t planned on.

Happy Halloween!
