Easy DIY Halloween Costumes for Kids
Why DIY?
DIY Halloween costumes are a fun way to get the whole family involved. And with a little creativity, they can be just as stylish and impressive as any store-bought costume. For kids, DIY costumes offer the opportunity to be anyone or anything they want to be. So whether they’re dreaming of being Bob Ross or a martian, there’s a DIY costume that will let them bring their vision to life. For adults, making your own costume provides an opportunity to unleash creativity, and you’ll be sure to get way more compliments! Here are some of my favorite DIY Halloween costumes for kids:
Princess
With a little help from an adult, even the littlest princess can transform into royalty with a DIY costume. A simple white dress can be embellished with lace, sequins, and feathers to create a stunning gown fit for a princess. Add a tiara and some sparkly shoes, and your little one will be ready to trick-or-treat in style. Click here for some great ideas for DIY princess costumes from Country Living.
Superhero
Every kid wants to feel like a superhero on Halloween, and with a DIY costume, they can! Start with a basic bodysuit in their favorite color, then add some felt or fabric details to create a unique costume that’s all their own. Add some face paint or a mask, and they’ll be ready to take on any villain that comes their way. Click here to see examples of DIY Superhero costumes from The Spruce Crafts.
