Handmade really awesome costumes for babies, kids, adults, groups, and pets!.
Here’s a fun and fairly easy group costume for ya… gather up all of your friends and be an army of skeletons! And best of all, this is a new sew costume. Gold feathers made these Halloween costumes out of duct tape! Yep, it’s just white duct tape on black shirt and pants! Easy peasy!
I have a thing for the 80’s, maybe it’s because that’s the decade I was born? Maybe I just love mismatched socks and off of the shoulder shirts? Either way, Angie made her daughter a totally rad 80’s costume last Halloween. She bought the sunglasses, skirt and t-shirt at the Dollar Store, added screen printing to a pair of leggings she already owned, and wore jewelry and shoes she already had on hand!

I wasn’t sure if I should file this one under pets, kids, or groups! So, it’s officially under all 3 labels! Sherry from Young House Love made her beloved kids, Clara and pup, Burger a DIY Jesse and Slinky dog costumes from the movie, Toy Story. A pair of jeans got some white duck tape cow spots and Sherry made a simple giant yarn braid and attached it to a cowboy hat for Jesse. Burger the pup got a felt, no sew slinky wrap.

How sweet is this handmade little red riding hood costume? Lindsay from Artsy Fartsy Mama made the dress and cape from a pattern and used red gingham fabric. I love that the gingham dress is totally wearable as an everyday dress even after Halloween! Lindsay gathered a white shirt, tights and sparkly red shoes to complete the outfit. The basket came from a thrift store. She tied in some red ribbon in her hair, and little red riding hood was all good to go.

Kim from seven thirty three whipped up some really awesome handmade Mr. and Mrs. Potato head costumes for her and her husband. She made both costumes out of 3 yards of brown felt, elastic, hot glue and felt sheets for the facial features. Kim has a step by step tutorial for turning you and yours into a favorite child hood toy on her blog.
Leigh Ann from Your Homebased Mom did it again (she also whipped up Mary Poppins and Bert costumes)! This time her and her husband created these really awesome Cruella Deville and Horace costumes! The Cruella Deville must haves include a black dress, tons of pearls, red gloves, black and white wig and a dalmatian coat. Leigh Ann is well, awesome and whipped the coat the morning of the big day! Horace is a little easier. He just needs a grey beanie, coat, and the net with a stuffed dalmatian is key!
