DIY this look
The static cling costume might be the cheapest Halloween costume idea on this entire site - it's built almost entirely from your laundry room.
- Wear a plain base outfit and stick a few mismatched socks to your shoulders and sleeves.
- Tie on the dryer-sheet cape so it billows when you walk.
- Put on the static-spike wig and tease it up a little more for effect.
- Rub a balloon on your hair right before you leave for one last burst of 'static.'
