20 DIY Halloween Costumes

October 10, 2013 By Shannah Coe 38 Comments

October has hit. Panic has set in at the Just Us Four house because the kids don’t have Halloween costumes picked out yet.  Typically, we have our costumes in hand by early September so we get the pick of what is available.  I am totally blaming PBK for this lapse in Halloween preparation since their catalog is usually what prompts me to order costumes.  This year, I am thinking our late decisions on what to be will leave us with a lot less choices.  So, like any good mom/blogger, I went cruising the interwebs and found 20 DIY Halloween costumes that could serve as back-ups…or first choices if DIY Halloween costumes are your thing!Halloween Costume Collage 
In this collection, you’ll find something for adults and kids alike 🙂  Even though so of them have been shown on adults, I think you could easily transform most of them into kid costumes too.

    Great list! I am amazed by their creativity! Since I started sewing I make my daughter’s costumes, but I can never be that creative.

    Awe, love the Flintstones and the Jelly Fish! My daughter wants to be a superhero this year and my son still has no idea what he wants to be. My kids like the getting candy aspect more then they do the dressing up bit, lol.

    I have to admit, I buy the kids costumes and don’t wear one when we go out. It takes so much time to get them ready that I just don’t have the energy for me!

    Do you dress up for Halloween? Usually No!!!
    Do you typically buy or make the costumes for you or your kids? It depends on my time I try to make my kids costume and I like using stuff that can be reused in another outfit later.. but I have bought store costumes before..

    I love the Jelly fish costume it looks so cute.. and easy to do…
