Who doesn't love a good pun? No joke, these are the easiest costumes ever, made mostly with items you probably already have lying around the house. No matter if you are a kid, an adult or a couple, you are sure to find an easy, last-minute idea perfect for Halloween.

For this devilishly handsome look, start with jeans and a white T-shirt. Tape a yellow paper plate (construction paper works well too) to the middle of your shirt. Top the look with some underworld-inspired accessories. A red cape, horns and pitchfork should do the trick. Don’t want to spend the cash? Opt for a cape made from a blanket, a garden pitchfork and horns made from cardstock. Don’t be afraid to get creative with this egg-cellent idea.

Let your dog in on the puns, too. To make this costume, start with a plain dog shirt that fits your pooch comfortably. To make the watch bands, cut strips of peel-and-stick felt and adhere them to the back and sides of the dog shirt. Cut out printed watch faces and then hot glue them to the felt watch bands. Space the faces so that they don’t overlap. Use a black marker to draw some buckle holes on the watch band. Now you've got yourself a punny and adorable dog costume that'll make everyone smile.
