My office is having their annual Halloween costume/decorating contest next month. Our group is having a hard time coming up with a "winning" idea. There are about 10 people in our group and we can dress up as well as decorate our desks. We'd also like it to be something that we don't have to spend a lot of money on and have a lot of the supplies at home.

Thanks for your suggestions!

What can I do next?

Hi R.,

Every year we go on vacation with a huge group of friends. We have a "Rib Fest" which has a theme every year. This year it was the 50s. My husband and I and our 2 kids, my sisters and their husbands and my nephews all dressed up as the Pink Ladies and the T-Birds. It was really easy and fun. For the girls we got pink tshirts and my brother in law is really good at free hand writing and he wrote "Pink Ladies" on the back of our shirts in black fabric marker and we wore either black capris or jean capris with white socks and white tennis shoes. For the guys we got black tshirts and we got a stencil off the internet and spray painted with fabric spray paint (get it at Lowes or Home Depot) T-Birds on the back. They wore jeans rolled at the ankle and found cheap black Converse style tennis shoes at Wal-Mart.

Good Luck, I hope you have lots of fun!!

work Zommbies - you can use old clothes cut them up get them dirty - face paint white spray for hair - I don't know if you remember a commercial were the work place wer all zombies- I think they even had chains on there legs a stuff like that- the spider webbing works graet too to wrap up in and spider rings in your hair. This is a cheap idea but effective- Hope that can help

Why don't you guys dress up as office supplies? Someone could be a highlighter, post it note, white out, scissors, etc....

How about dressing like the cast in the move "Austin Powers" that would be fun, and I'm sure you can all find cheap 60's clothes from the salvation army. In fact, you can get alot of ideas by shopping at the salvation army.
Or, maybe you could find an old wedding dress, someone could be the bride of dracula, someone dracula and the rest of you could be the ghouls in the wedding party. That way you could decorate your desks like a creepy, scary wedding. The cheap make-up you get at the halloween shops can add such a great dramatic effect!
Good luck and have fun!
