    Not so into the idea of buying a completely revealing Big Bird costume this year? You can DIY these outfits without much time or money and avoid the "sexy" black hole entirely.

    Use things you already have lying around the house:

    1. Like gloves, which make easy moose antlers:

    2. Make bat wings from an old umbrella:

    3. A picture frame and some non-toxic paint can turn you into a work of art in minutes:

    4. Or, if you're more into Pop Art than Impressionism:

    5. Use paper towels to make a mummy costume:

    If you want to be especially relevant, dress up as something from the news:

    6. Like the giant eyeball:

    7. The iPhone 5:

    8. The Jesus fresco:

    9. The Mars rover:

    10. Or Paul Ryan:

    13. Silent film stars:

    14. Peanut butter and jelly:

    15. Tom Hanks' character and Wilson the volleyball from "Castaway":

    16. Play-doh:
