If you’re short on time, and you don’t want to spend tons on buying ready-made stuff, here are easy DIY geeky Halloween costumes.

Scientists

As you can imagine, the possibilities are endless. Go as Einstein, Isaac Newton, or whoever your favorite scientist is.

Hancock

He may not be your usual superhero, but you can’t admit he’s as loveable as they come. And it’s easy to look like him.

Dorothy

Be sweeter than candy with this costume. If you don’t have a dog, I think it’ll still work. Just make sure you’ve got those red shoes.

Here are the instructions.

Be a Sim

God knows how much I love the Sims. If you have been/are addicted to the game, then here is the perfect – and easiest – costume.

Taking selfies as a Sim is HARD. Happy Halloween! #halloween #sims
