UP, UP AND AWAY!

Make like the Disney movie

Up and create a colourful

cardboard house, and hold

a giant bunch of helium

balloons. It’s as simple

as gluing together the

house and giving it a

lick of paint or sticking

on printed-out

brick sides and

a tiled roof.

EASY-AS DIY COSTUMES

What’s Halloween without a costume, right? Try these

easy creations for guaranteed best-dressed status...

50 SHADES

OF GREY

Literally. Cover yourself

in every shade of grey

paint chip you can fi nd!

Attach them to string

or ribbon, wrap around

and tie at the back.

Accessorise with plastic

hand cu s. Obviously.

SO JELLY

Transform yourself

into a giant bag

of jelly beans, aka

blown-up water

balloons housed in

a big, clear plastic

bag. Just add straps

and you’re done.

SWEET AS

Turn yourself into a cupcake, by making

a cardboard patty case and icing out

of a sheet! The sprinkles can be fl u y

pompoms. The most intensive, it will still

only take 30 minutes and you’ll be sure

to win any best-dressed comps.
