Lightning Strike
This couples costume will shock and awe your friends.
What you need to do: Create holes in your shirt and rub charcoal to get the burnt, ashy look. You can get charcoal pieces from arts and crafts stores. Cut up an old umbrella, and tease your hair in any direction you want! The messier, the better. For the lightning bolt, paint a thunderbolt-shaped piece of cardboard yellow and wear all black.

Carl's House and Russell From Up
Hold on tightly!
What you need to do: For Carl’s house, find a cardboard box and paint the house on the front. Attach balloons to the box or around your waist inside the box. For Russell, wear a yellow polo shirt and dye a white baseball cap yellow (use felt for the logo). Find either a vintage Boy Scout sash online, or make your own using bottle caps and iron-ons.
