Handmade really awesome costumes for babies, kids, adults, groups, and pets!.
Turkey day is fast approaching and this may just be the cutest stuffed turkey I’ve ever seen! Tara said her two year old son came up with the idea to be a turkey so she then came up with a simple and inexpensive DIY turkey costume to make for him using multiple colors of felt and cardboard. A little bit of sewing and glueing later and you’ve got yourself one cute little Thanksgiving turkey.

Nothing pays tribute to Thanksgiving more than dressing up as the first ones to ever give thanks. Dana at Made created the perfect DIY Pilgrim costumes pieces for her kiddos to play pretend in and she made the vest, shawl, hat and bonnet out of felt while using basics you might already have in your kids closets to fill in the remainder of the costume.

I don’t know about y’all, but I love Ms. Frizzle and the awesome adventures she takes her class on in the Magic School Bus! Julia whipped up this really awesome Mrs. Frizzle dress and made her significant other the magic school bus with a yellow tee and an iron on transfer of a bus. Genius! I love that Julia made the sun and planets removable so that she could get more use out of her dress after Halloween is over!

I’m absolutely in love with this costume and how easy it would be to recreate. You can find this idea for a DIY raining cats and dogs costume via Real Simple and all you need are rain boots, a rain coat, umbrella and a couple of stuffed cat and dog toys to adhere to the umbrella. The rest of the look can be completely up to you and your liking. So simple but super cute!

This is actually more than a couple costume, it’s a family costume! Jamie from C.R.A.F.T. is 19 weeks pregnant and that’s why she included the little squirrel in her happy tree. Bob Ross is really easy to make, all of the clothes came from the closet and she made him a pallet out of cardboard and bought the brown afro. The happy little tree started as an XL men’s t-shirt and the squirrel is made of felt! The fall leaf garland got chopped into 5 strips and made into a headpiece, bracelets, and shoulder pieces.

Nicole created a DIY Barbie box costume for a contest at her high school and it has to be one of the best looking Barbie themed costumes I’ve seen. Once you find the perfect sized box all you then need to do is cut out the window, spray paint the entire box hot pink and add straps to the inside so you can wear it like a backpack. She paid so much attention to detail using the actual logos for Mattel and Barbie then blew them up to get the most accurate look possible. She also used Barbie wrapping paper to line the inside of the box which I think gives it that something extra that makes it that much more amazing. All you need to do is dress up like your choice of Barbie and you’ve got a winning costume!
