This is the last week before Halloween and there are kinds of festivities and parties. While some people start planning and even designing their costume for Halloween months in advance, others have no clue what to do. In Southwest Florida, we also have to consider the heat and humidity levels when costuming. With limited time, and some times limited resources, how can you pull off a good getup? Here are some last minute DIY Halloween costumes ideas for TikTok Tuesday.

As we get closer and closer to Halloween, my TikTok feed has been full of videos offering ideas for unique, creative costuming. Some are more traditional, store bought costumes that you can mix and match with your partner or group of friends. Others are super elaborate. However, the clock is ticking and I don't know about you, but I need something fast, easy and fun.

Sure you can buy a mask for Halloween and build a costume around it. There are some great ideas if you scroll down for more.

In addition, if you are hosting a Halloween event or attending one and need some last minute help in the food department, don't worry. Click here for some great recipes from last week. I tried the pizza bites and they are a lot of fun. The charcuterie eyeballs are next up for me. But for now, lets get those costumes figured out with as little stress as possible.

You don't have to have a TikTok account to view the videos.

Just scroll down and hit play from this post. All videos are office and kid friendly. There are some easy ideas as well as some that are pretty clever.
