Handmade really awesome costumes for babies, kids, adults, groups, and pets!.
A Teaspoon of Happiness crafted up this really awesome handmade pinata costume from a cheap tank dress, crepe paper, and fabric glue! Yep, that’s right, it’s a no sew kind of costume… my favorite!
See a full tutorial about how to make the DIY pinata dress at A Teaspoon of Happiness. I think pinatas would be another really fun group costume idea! And if you liked this costume, check out the DIY dog pinata costume!
How fun is this paper doll costume for Halloween? Megan from the Brassy Apple crafted up this really awesome paper doll costume for her daughter. She used foam core board, XACTO, spray adhesive, and fabric! Oh and don’t forget the most important part, the tabs!
Megan gives a handy tip, “Don’t make the dress too long, it’s hard to walk with a stiff dress hitting your knees!” See all of the handmade paper doll costume details at The Brassy Apple. I think this would be a super fun costume for a big group! Don’t you?
It’s International Astronomy Day! And this costume is out of this world, ha! I couldn’t decide if this should be a couple costume or group, since it is technically for 3 people! Modern Kiddo holds a Halloween costume parade each year and this handmade pregnant Halloween costume was one of many really awesome costumes in the parade. You could use fabric glue to attach a felt sun to your belly. Pain Styrofoam balls to represent the planets and attach to your arms. Galileo just needs a black robe (a black graduation gown would be perfect) and a telescope!
Did you dress up for Halloween when you were pregnant?
Oh my cuteness! Stacie from The Flirty Blog is at is again, and this time with a DIY sushi dog costume. (She is also the mastermind behind the chia pet dog costume!) She made a white dog bib and covered a small cardboard box (a rice or marconi box would work out well for a small pup) with pink-ish paper, add some wasabi, ginger, chop sticks, and soy sauce and your pooch is ready to go!
Oh and if you like the sushi dog costume, you’ll love the DIY baby sushi costume made from a onesie!
Lindsay at the Artsy Fartsy Mama crafted up a clever homemade scuba diver costume for her little miss! The costume started as a plain black shirt and black pants. Lindsay and her husband made an air tank out of 2 liter soda bottles, spray paint, and cord keeper tube! The pink fins are made of craft foam and taped to her shoes. I love that she even has her weights attached to her waist to help her submerge She looks ready to scuba dive to me!

They used cardboard, stencils and crayons to make their DIY spice girls costumes! I’ll tell you what I want, what I really, really want… to talk my girlfriends into being the Spice Girls for Halloween. (No pun intended, ha!)

Nob Hill made her little boy a mad scientist costume with a large white button down, black pants, a crazy wig, and the most important accessory, lab goggles! Check it out:
Real Simple did a preppier version of a mad scientist costume with a plaid button down, khakis, a bow tie and my favorite part a a test tube of gummy worms!
I think a group costume of mad scientist would be super fun too!

Valerie sewed on the fancy details yellow bib, large round buttons, and fancy cuffs. Of course, Jessie has to have a red cowgirl hat and a long red braid!
