HELP! I need a quick FALL costume

[ams3651]

I am so perturbed, my sons school sent home a note last week stating that the 30th will be a FALL FESTIVAL and all costumes should be fall themed.

Ive only been making a pirate costume for the last couple weeks. What the heck is a fall themed costume? Scarecrow? Pumpkin? I cant go out and buy a sweat suit to make a costume. Any ideas, I need it done by friday.

Get one of those pumpkin trash bags and fill it with tissue paper - cut hold for your legs and make a neck band from leaves.

How about a leaf costume... http://www.ehow.com/how_5416571_make-leaf-costume.html

I also read where you can take an old sweatsuit (or old clothes) and glue leaves all over. EASY... and what is more fall-like and inexpensive than leaves?

some cardboard boxes, construction paper and glue would make him a tree with the leaves falling off.

Scarecrow? Farmer? Migratory bird?

Whats says fall more than hunting whitetail deer

That seems awfully short notice for many folks, and essentially requires that he have 2 costumes.

I would probably dress him up as a pirate and paint leaves on his face--he can be the captain of The Autumn.

Ugh ... not sure if this is a knee-jerk right wing reaction against devil worship or a knee-jerk left wing reaction for political correctness ... but how annoying!

Make a sheet toga, corn cob and leaf accessories and send him in as Demeter, greek goddess of the harvest. It's a pagan, gender-bending feista for all!
