Our Experience Making A Homemade LEGO Costume
We try to make the kids costumes each Halloween. This year, Lowes inspired us to “think outside the box” and with the help of a giant appliance box (Thank you handy shopping assistant Doug!!) and a couple of cans of spray paint as well as several smaller boxes we had Legos. Human Legos.
Lego blocks are one of our favorite things to play with. All. Day. Long. The kids absolutely love building and creating.
Red is my son’s favorite color. He’s thrilled with his costume – and I was thrilled with how easy it was to create. All it took was a short trip to my local Lowes.

These LEGO brick costumes are some of my most favorite homemade Halloween costume because they’re simple and easy to make in a pinch. And there are many different ways to make these LEGO bricks, but this is the easiest costume to me. This can also be a family costume!
Simple arm holes, favorite colors, cardboard…it’s awesome and one of the best costume ideas. It can be kid costumes or adult LEGO costumes, regardless they’re perfect for Halloween night.

I love the Lego! Along similar lines – a “box” costume I made for my pumpkin one year was this:
http://milkandcuddles.com/2009/10/an-easy-halloween-costume-idea/
She is meant to be a box of Chinese Take Out! With chopsticks in her hair:)
we are not going out in the cold. We have decided to go to a fall harvest festival to do games and fun vs a getting candy from strangers. Any treats that are brought home will be purchased by us and my daughter will get to go pick out a toy instead.
My daughter will be princess hello kitty (white ears with a bow, and a tutu with a hello kitty shirt and tights)
Very very cool! We’re mad about lego in our house! (not so mad about halloween though so no costume ideas to offer!)
We love homemade costumes at our house! Your kiddos will probably like my five year old son’s costume – he’s a Lego Man. Homemade and thrifty with most of the supplies bought at the dollar store. You can see it here: http://6dukes.blogspot.com/2011/10/lego-man-costume.html. If your kids don’t like that one, how about a gumball machine (http://6dukes.blogspot.com/2011/10/gumball-machine-costume.html) or a live American Girl doll (http://6dukes.blogspot.com/2011/10/american-girl-lila.html)?
What a fun contest. I love seeing what others come up with!
Thank you for linking to Halloween Traditions and sharing your idea with my readers! This is such a great idea!
What a great idea – I was once a toothbrush with a similar idea with a drawn toothbrush in the box. My eldest will be a devil with a red cape that I am making and red t-shirt with his red track suit bottoms and my little one a witch in a orange and purple tutu that I made and purple stripy tights and purple t-shirt that I’ve added extra sequins (she’s only 7 months so can’t be a scary witch).
What a cute idea. Last year we were bam bam flintstone and we turned our little tikes car into the flintstone mobile. This year we bought a pirate costume, but I am turning his wagon into a pirate ship.
The best costume I’ve seen was a tree. It was so cute. It was the child’s idea and homemade. He was wrapped in a brown cloth with branches attached. Oh I just loved it!
I love the Lego costume!
My daughter’s costume is not terribly original, but I have to brag on her. She just turned 9. All on her own she made her own jack-o-lantern costume. She has green leggings, an orange skirt, and an orange shirt that she turned inside out. She cut out eyes, nose, smile from black construction paper and taped it to the shirt. Then she put her hair in a ponytail with a green bow. She looks so cute and she did it all on her own, with no prompting from us.
ADORABLE!! And so clever! I once made myself into a ” birthday present” when I was younger, following similar principles. I wrapped up a huge box in wrapping paper and tied a huge bow around it, cut arm and neck holes and put it on like a t-shirt! I loved it and thought I looked so fab! We don’t celebrate Halloween so my littlies won’t have costumes, but I love all these ideas above!
