No-time, no-supply, no-skill costumes to make right now!

So your child decides at the last minute that he wants to go trick-or-treating after all. Or that her storebought costume is itchy and too uncomfortable to wear. Or that he wants to wear something spooky while passing out candy at your door. You have no time and no special materials to put together a costume, but a costume is quickly called for. "How to Make an Emergency Last-Minute Costume" will help you assemble something homemade, makeshift and slapdash that you can call a costume and that your child will tolerate. It's not going to be pretty. But hey, it's Halloween. Ugly works.
