Hardware stores are fun to browse in. <br /><br />I remember when I was in college and went to the fashion show of a nearby design school and one assignment the students had was to make something out of other things. The showstopper was an evening dress made out of broken black umbrellas.

I've worn materials from our lab for a Halloween costume in the past (no sewing involved...just some knot-tying). I'm a fish ecologist, and I went as "ghost fishing." I wore white clothes with fishing boots and gloves, cloaked myself in an old gillnet, entwined some hooks and some fake fish skeletons, and attempted to embody the concept of lost fishing gear that continues to catch fishes. I realize it's always dangerous to choose an overly-conceptual costume, but I thought at a party full of fisheries scientists, it would be well-received...no one got it. Oh well, I had fun!
