Original WKYC Post

3News Style Contributor Hallie Abrams shares some easy and creative costume ideas with some help from our extended WKYC family.

CLEVELAND — The countdown is on - Halloween is officially just eleven days away, and if you haven't figured out your costumes yet, don't panic. 3News Style Contributor Hallie Abrams stopped by "Front Row" to share some creative costume ideas that you can put together from items you probably already have in your closet.

For this segment, Hallie created Superman, Queens Gambit, Ted Lasso and Brawny Man costumes for 3News Senior Commentator Leon Bibb's daughter Allison Bibb-Carson, her husband Ron Carson and their kids Jackson and Rory. She also helped 3News Senior Producer Monique Zappa turn into "The Bachelorette," and created Rosie the Riveter and Easter Bunny costumes for 3News staffer Ryan Maloney's daughters Madelyn and Olivia.

And as a special surprise, Jim Donovan walked into the studio holding Laura Caso's son Jackson in a lobster costume!

If you're looking for even more ideas, here's a list of other costumes to get you inspired.
