Towelie

"We took four poster boards (two each) and stuck letters on them. We cut holes into the posters and strung rope through them so that the boards could rest on our shoulders. The easiest!" — [courtneym460e9073c](https://www.buzzfeed.com/courtneym460e9073c)

Cards Against Humanity

"We spray-painted a trash can and cut out the bottom, painted the Solo part with cheap paint, and made the Solo cup straps out of ribbon. To make the Ping-Pong ball, we cut a Styrofoam ball in half." — [justinet47ed748c7](https://www.buzzfeed.com/justinet47ed748c7)

Red Solo cup

"I created this Arthur the Aardvark costume using things I already had in my closet (red sneakers, jeans, and a yellow sweater). I bought the white polo for $5 at Target, glasses at a thrift store for $2, and bear ears on Amazon for $5. I am a first-grade teacher, and my students absolutely loved this costume!" — [melissah56](https://www.buzzfeed.com/melissah56)

Arthur Read

"I owned a black tank, black maxi skirt, pearls, and of course, a bottle of champagne. All I needed was a plastic champagne glass and a roll of shimmery wrapping paper. The dollar store is my best friend." — [monican42d798907](https://www.buzzfeed.com/monican42d798907)

Salvador Dalí clock

"I worked for a retail store at the time, so I got the box there, and the shoes were made with cardboard inserts. The rivets were made with dollops of hot glue with tinfoil wrapped around them. I think the most money I spent was on spray paint. " — [tokenlindsey](https://www.buzzfeed.com/tokenlindsey)

Robot

"We bought red flannels from a thrift store for $10, and the beards from Party City for around $5. It was a hit — we had people asking us for photos all night." — [laurenrosej2](https://www.buzzfeed.com/laurenrosej2)

Lumberjack

"All you need is cardboard (I got the boxes from behind a Walmart because I’m classy like that), two Hula-Hoops (dollar store), yellow spray paint, and some beer to help you with the design process." — [patrickb39](https://www.buzzfeed.com/patrickb39)

Pac-Man

"I bought the fabric from Jo-Ann Fabric for $15. Then we bought Eggos, borrowed the jacket from a friend, and threw some lipstick under his nose for the nosebleed. Also, the LED lights for the Joyce costume were $3 from Target and the clothes I already owned!" — [katelynj4](https://www.buzzfeed.com/katelynj4)

Eleven from _Stranger Things_
