Easy Homemade Halloween Costumes for Kids

Some times it just get's too much! Decorate the house, get candies, prepare food, juggle work while doing all this! Fret not! We have some ideas on how to make an original costume your kids will love to wear and you’ll be proud to show off.

Watercolor Paint Tray


The narrow tray with ovals of watercolor paint is a part of growing up. Turn this classic childhood toy into a colorful costume. Top it off with a handmade French-inspired beret and a jumbo paintbrush made from a pool noodle.

Candy Rapper


Drop some sweet beats this Halloween in this punny costume. Design by Sam Henderson.

Bull in a China Shop


Every parent, at one time or another has thought their child was like a bull in a china shop. Turn this timeless expression into an adorable Halloween costume. 

Garden Fairy


Make a standard tutu skirt (very easy) long enough to serve as a dress. Add a halter ribbon, a set of wings, adorn it with a floral belt and a pretty halo. 

Budding Beauty


Using some felt and ribbon, you can easily turn any pair of green jammies into a quick flower costume that your kids will love. This sewing craft is perfect for the beginner seamstress. 

Superheroes


This Halloween let your kids feel invincible by having them create their own superheroes. Let them dream up their own super powers and help design an emblem for their costume.

Ice Cream Cone With Cherry on Top


It may look vanilla, but it’s certainly not plain. To make this scrumptious costume, a laundry basket cone was topped off with a paper-mache scoop then sprinkled with multicolored plastic balls. Add a little chiffon and a cherry-red hat on top.

Classic Witch


This cute little witch's dress is made from one of those ubiquitous black maxi skirts that are all the rage these days. All the materials for this dress were inexpensive and very little sewing is involved, so you will have a fabulous costume in no time and for little money. 

Smartphone With Earbuds


Every kid wants one, so why not let them be one? To make this costume, simply take a screenshot of your phone’s screen and take a photo of the back of another phone. Send the images to a copy center to have them enlarged. Adhere the front-and-back images to two pieces of cardboard then tie the cardboard together with string. A set of round potholders covered in foam are used to make the earbuds. 

Traditional Black Cat


If you already have a black shirt, pants and shoes you're half way to having this costume made. After that you'll just need a few craft supplies, tulle fabric and some black liner for whiskers!
