Halloween is just around the corner, which means you’re probably only now getting around to thinking about your costume. One easy route — year after year — is to “go Muppets.” There are so many colorful options, too: Kermit! Gonzo! Miss Piggy! The options are seemingly endless, so we’d like to offer a word of warning: Do not replicate any of the following dozen homemade Muppet costumes. They are all sorts of weird, and some are downright wrong. Take our advice and play it simple. Buy a mask from a costume shop and get it over with, because these are just … they’re a bit much.
