Find out how to make this simple yet creative Halloween costume, follow these directions submitted by Evelyn and you can dress up as a lame excuse.

Materials Needed:

  • Cane or Walker
  • Post-It Notes
  • Pen

Instructions:
On different Post-It notes, write several excuses such as 'My dog ate my homework', 'I'll be washing my hair', 'Cough-Cough...I think I'm getting sick'. Be creative - come up with as many as you can. Stick the Post-It notes all over your shirt (you may have to reinforce them with heavy tape). Grab the cane and go off with a limp if you can. You're now a LAME EXCUSE.
