For adults planning Halloween
Salt and Pepper
A two-person costume you can make at the kitchen table. Matching black tees, plus a hand-lettered SALT or PEPPER sign hung around each neck. About $28 for both of you.
What you'll look like
Two people in black T-shirts, each wearing a white poster-board sign on a twine loop. One says SALT, the other PEPPER, with shaker-hole dots across the top. It reads from across a room, and the signs lift off when you sit down to eat.

From your closet: dark trousers and shoes. From the junk drawer: scissors and a hole punch.
How to make it
Cut the poster board in half, one sign each.
Letter SALT on one half and PEPPER on the other, big enough to read from across the room. Draw a few dots along the top edge for the shaker holes.
Punch two holes near the top corners of each sign. Thread twine through and tie a loop long enough to slip over your head.
Try it on. Sit, walk, and take it off once. Shorten the twine if the sign hangs too low.
Give yourself three days to get the parts and make it. The build itself is under an hour.
Prices are from Walmart's listings on Oct 7, 2026, for two people, before tax and shipping. We didn't check stock or delivery times. The shirt price covers sizes S–3XL. We haven't built this one ourselves yet.
