Stuck for last minute Halloween costume ideas? Whether it’s because you’ve run out of time, want to avoid plastic tat or simply don’t fancy shelling out on something new – for many, a trip to the shop is off the cards this spooky season. This means we need to get a little creative. And the best place to start is the airing cupboard. It’s time to dig out those old bedsheets; they’re about to become your spookiest Halloween costume yet.
Bedsheet DIY: 3 Last Minute Halloween Costumes
1. Ghost
It might be a little obvious, but a ghost is a great (and easy) costume that can be worn year after year. ‘You can’t go wrong with the classic ghost costume,’ says the Secret Linen Store team. ‘It’s a timeless favourite for a reason. Simply take an old white bed sheet, cut out eye holes and drape it over yourself. Add some spooky accessories to elevate your look and you’re ready to haunt this Halloween.’

2. Roman Emperor, God Or Goddess
If you fancy getting a little more creative, you can always take it back a few thousand years. The Romans were known for their draped fashion choices – which you can easily recreate with a bedsheet at home. ‘You can make yourself a toga in no time with an old bedsheet,’ agrees the he Secret Linen Store team. ‘Simply fold it into a large rectangle, drape it around your body and secure it with some safety pins. Add some gold jewellery and some sandals and your look will be ready for the Halloween gathering.’

3. Mummy Wrap
Bedsheets aren’t limited to heavy drapery, either. ‘For a simple (but effective) mummy costume, tear an old bed sheet into strips and wrap them around your body, leaving some gaps for that authentic yet tattered look,’ instructs the Secret Linen Store team. ‘This idea is perfect for both kids and adults and makes for a fun family crafting project during the school holidays.’
