Need some inspiration for that Halloween party coming up? We’ve put together 12 tea-inspired costume ideas for us tealovers to parade our affinity for tea in the most punny way possible. This is how we do at Sips by HQ - tea puns all day, every day. Most of these costumes can be put together with found objects around the house so they’re perfect for last minute rallies and throwing a quick costume together. We’re so ready for Halloween, it’s unreal.
1. Steeping Beauty
Get it?? Dress as Sleeping Beauty, hold a pot of tea - you're now Steeping Beauty.
2. Fifty Shades of Earl Grey
This is an easy one. Take cut outs of 50 different Earl Grey packages and paste/tape them on a shirt or dress. Maybe carry handcuffs. Costume done.
3. Tea-Rex
Dress as a T-Rex, hold a teacup and saucer, and endeavor to drink your tea the entire night.
4. Tea-Swift
Dress as one of the singer's iconic eras or album covers and add props of a teapot and/or teacup (extra points for day old tea).
5. Lady Liber-tea
Dress as Lady Liberty herself, but instead of holding a torch and stone scripture, proudly hold a teapot and cup. Go around serving up liber-tea - the best tasting freedom anyone’s ever had.
