Halloween is right around the corner, so you know what that means — it's time to break out the candy and buckets for trick-or-treat! Need a cost-affordable costume that will go easy on your wallet? Not to worry — here are nine simple DIY costumes to create for your kiddos this Halloween.
- School Bus Driver: Find him or her a fitting hat and decorate your kid’s wagon with yellow cardboard for a fun costume that also acts as a mode of transportation during trick-or-treating.
- Chip Gaines: Love HGTV? Turn your little boy into one of the stars with a flannel, kid’s utility belt and brown work boots.
- Football Field: Grab some green poster board, a few white markers and maybe a foam ball to create a football field your child can sport like a sandwich board sign. Throw on a kid’s helmet to complete the look.
- Rainy Day: Construct a cloud headband with some fluffed cotton balls and attach a few threads adorned with paper waterdrops. Complete the look with a gray shirt and cute pair of rainboots.
- The Man With The Yellow Hat: Round up all your boy’s yellow clothing items to create a monotone look. The ensemble comes together after it’s paired with a stuffed monkey and bright hat.
- Cowgirl: Any outfit can become a cowgirl costume with the addition of a western hat, bandana and cowboy boots.
- Audrey Hepburn: Recreate the iconic “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” look with a black top and tutu, black gloves, statement jewelry and a pair of mom’s sunglasses.
- Dalmatian: An all-white ensemble with black paper spots acts as a pup-ular option. Don’t forget the black dog ears and a little black nose.
- Scarecrow: Make the most out of your kid’s overalls by incorporating them into a costume. With a flannel and a little fake brown straw hat, the look will come together.
