Couples Halloween Costumes – Pizza and Delivery Guy

Pizza and delivery guy – couples’ Halloween costumes

This idea is one of our favorites. After all, everyone loves pizza! In addition, it’s super easy to make, takes very little time, and is a great last minute idea. If you’d like to try it out for yourself, you will need:

A large piece of beige cardboard
Yellow tissue paper
Red tissue paper
A sheet of red card
A sheet of white card
A sheet of green card
Glue
Scissors
A stapler
A piece of ribbon (preferably yellow)
An empty (preferably unused) pizza box

The materials

materials needed for making a pizza costume, couples halloween costumes, large piece of beige cardboard, sheets of green and red car, yellow tissue paper, scissors and glue

The process itself is incredibly easy. First, take the piece of cardboard, and cut it into two symmetrical triangular shapes, using the scissors. Keep the top angles of the shapes sharp, but round the bottom ones a bit, to give them a more dough-like look. Now it’s time to create the “cheese”. Cut a strip of yellow tissue paper and fold it several times. Using the scissors, make several even incisions along the folded paper. When you unfold it, it should have a frayed look. Repeat the process, until you have enough yellow tissue paper to cover almost the entire surface of both cardboard pieces. Then, carefully stick the yellow paper on the two carboard triangles, leaving about 2,5 inches at the bottom of each blank. Next, cut two wavy strips of red tissue paper. These will be the “tomato sauce” for your pizza. Stick the strips at the bottom of the on pizza slices, over the last layer of yellow tissue paper. Then, cut out some round shapes from the red card (salami slices), some mushroom shapes from the white card, and some green strips (peppers) from the green card. Carefully stick them on top of the pizza slices. Finally, connect the two triangles with a piece of ribbon, using the stapler. Make sure the ribbon is long enough, since there needs to be enough space for your body between the two slices.

The pizza costume is ready to wear! We advise you to combine it with clothes in similar colors.

As your partner will play the role of the delivery guy, they will need casual clothes (jeans, a t-shirt and some sneakers), a baseball cap and, of course, an empty pizza box. A pair of big headphones is a nice extra touch.

Voila! Your couples Halloween costumes are ready! And to make things even easier, here is a photo step by step of the entire process:

As you may have guessed, the most important features of this look are the hair, the makeup, and the accessories. First, outline your eyes using thick strokes of black eyeliner. Don’t worry if its uneven – this look is all about looking wild and messy! The red lipstick is next. As for the hair, use generous amounts of gel, and style it so it looks windswept and unruly. Once done, decorate your denim jackets with as many assorted safety pins as you can get your hands on! We used these amazing oversized novelty pins, which we highly recommend. Finally, if you have any chunky bling necklaces on hand, throw them on.

It’s all about the “I just got out of bed” hair and the “I put my eyeliner in the dark” make up

The Mermaid and Merman costumes!

Mermaid and Merman costumes

This is an absolutely gorgeous idea. We love the soft peachy hues of the female part of the outfit. Plus, it can be assembled with things you have around the house (save for a few small exceptions). You will need:

A sheer maxi dress in peach/pale pink.
A skirt or shorts in a similar hue (to wear underneath)
A pale pink/peach crop top
Several pieces of felt in pink and gold
Some silver pipe cleaners (fuzzy wire)
A glue gun
A selection of seashells
Gold-colored string
Gold-colored crochet lace for arts and crafts

Begin by cutting out two identical seashell shapes from pink felt. They should be about as big as your hand. Then, using the glue gun, decorate them with strips of gold felt and silver pipe cleaners. When ready, stick them on your top. Now, it’s time to create the mermaid necklace. First, cut a 6-inch piece of gold crochet lace and 4 3-inch pieces of gold string. Using the glue gun, stick two pieces of string to each end of the strip of lace. Next, cut two more pieces of string (about 1,5 inches each), and a longer one (about 4,5 inches). Tie all of them into loops, and stick them to the crochet lace, ensuring that the longer piece is in the middle. Finally, stick a shell on each of the three pieces of string. While the porcess might sound a tad confusing, it’s actually much easier than it seems. Don’t believe us? See for yourself in the photos bellow show:

The merman costume is even easier to recreate! You will need:

A pair of swimming trunks
5 x 2 ft. of silver fabric
3 x 2 ft. of gold fabric
Some gold arts and crafts crochet lace
2 large seashells
Some smaller seashells
A glue gun
A trident toy

Start off by making the cape. Cut a strip of gold crochet lace (about 10 – 11 inches long) and stick a large shell on each of its ends. Then, take the silver fabric and glue the shells to its top corners. Put your swimming trunks on and wrap the gold fabric around them, hiding them completely. Secure the fabric in place, by tucking its upper corners into your trunks. If you have some leftover silver fabric, you can add it on top. Next, take the trident toy and stick some seashells on it. Your merman costume is ready!
