Do you want to achieve that Marge Simpson look in an upcoming costume party? That’s easy. Be the talk of the crowd with this simple Marge Simpson getup, created with basic materials in your home.

The best way to start with the costume is from head to toe.

For Marge’s signature blue beehive hair, all you need is to make a base, which could be worn like a hat, made out of paper cartons. If you don’t have cartons, take blue construction paper and make a blue paper chain about 4 feet long. Wrap the chain into a beehive pattern, using dabs of hot glue to secure the shape.

Stick colored cottons on that base and you already have your beehive hair. Next is her bead necklace. The necklace can be anything from cutouts, to a simple bead necklace glazed with red-orange poster paint.

When it comes to her green tube dress, a plain green sleeping blanket would do, or any spare cloth that can be modified to look like a tube dress. Alternatively, A cheap green dress can be found at your local goodwill store. Lastly, Marge Simpson wears red-orange flats, which can be done by giving any old flats a little spray paint work.

Melissa "Liss" Burnell started Budget101.com in 2001 because she needed it to exist — not because she saw a market opportunity. She was feeding a family of four on under $200 a month, and people kept asking how, so she started writing everything down.

That turned into 25 years of recipes, debt-busting strategies, and DIY content — including figuring out how to make 128 loads of laundry detergent for less than $2. Millions of families have quietly used this site to stretch a dollar without feeling like they're sacrificing anything. She's also the author of two bestselling budget cooking ebooks, available on Amazon.
