How To Make a DIY Avocado Costume

Picking out the perfect Halloween costume can be incredibly overwhelming. There are so many options available; it can be so difficult to choose just one. Not to mention, costumes can be expensive! To avoid costly costumes, many people choose to avoid purchasing one and DIY their costume. For your inner budget-friendly millennial heart, why not try a DIY avocado costume? Here’s how!

How to Make a DIY Avocado Costume For Halloween

While avocados might not be particularly spooky, they sure are cute!

You will need:

• A large piece of cardboard
• Paint (or large markers) in green, brown, and yellow-green
• Scissors
• Pencil
• String (or ribbon)

Directions For a DIY Avocado Costume

• Place your cardboard on the ground flat and outline your avo shape in pencil. Avocados have an oval shape with a tapered top and round, smooth edges. 
• Use your scissors to cut along the lines you drew to form your avo shape.
• Trace a large circle in pencil in the center of the bottom half of your avo. This circle will become the pit.
  
  Hint: use a dinner place or large bowl as a stencil to draw the perfect circle.

• Draw a border around the edge of your superfruit about 1-2 inches thick; this is your avocado costume’s skin.
• Using your paint or markers, color in the space between the border and the pit with your yellow-green color. Use a darker shade of green for the peel and brown to color in the pit. If you want to get extra fancy, wait until the paint dries and use a bit more to add some depth with shading. 
• Punch two holes on either side of the top of your avocado. Tie your string to one side using the hole. Adjust the length of your string as needed to center your avocado costume on your torso, then tie the string to the other side.
