I love homemade Halloween costumes! I love being crafty, and my kids love to play pretend, so a home made costume is just an extension of our personalities. Thanks to everyone who submitted ideas to Kids Activities Blog and told us about your kids costumes. These ideas are so great we just had to share them!
Homemade Halloween Costumes
Check out these amazing ideas!
Dukes and Duchesses created a cute gumball machine costume for their daughter using items from the dollar store.
DIY Pterodactyl Costume. This one was created by one of my new favorite blogs, Dinosaurs and Octopuses. She has lots of activities!
Eli and Melissa created a Rocket-Man costume with soda bottles, spray paint, duct tape and tissue paper.
We were LEGOs this year, but this fella was the lego man. What a fun DIY costume idea!
Shannon of Milk and Cuddles had fun with her daughter. She created a Chinese Take-out Costume. Adorable!
Home Made Costume
- Transform a brown sweatsuit with a felt mane and some masking tape into a Giraffe (via Family Fun Go)
- Love how simple this “Homeless Child Outfit” is! All you need are worn clothes, make-up and a sign.
- Tip Junkie featured a fun circus performer costume – complete with a balloon barbell, balloon “muscles” and a fake mustache.
- Another simple costume is this Yoda one by It’s Overflowing. She includes instructions so you can make your own “ears” hat.

About Rachel
This is a great roundup of homemade Halloween costumes! I’m thrilled to be a part of it. Thank you so much for the kind words.
I’m still finishing my son’s costume for tonight! This year wasn’t completely me procrastinating though. He wanted something more specific than we had planned and at first I told him no to the change. But then he rationalized it and reasoned so well that I was impressed with his skills at persuasion and said yes. I soon found out it wasn’t as easy as he made it sound. Haha.
I loved seeing the photos of the other costumes … thanks for sharing ours!
Saw your tweet and clicked the link. So cute!
Cute roundup, but homeless kid outfit? Total miss and I know the person who made this never intended for it to be in bad taste… but it is. Kind of like the “Hobo Wedding” featured on Etsy. Celebrating poverty isn’t festive.
