Handmade really awesome costumes for babies, kids, adults, groups, and pets!.
Maegan (courtesy of Babble) showed us how she easily created a DIY tinker bell costume that’s sure to please all the Disney lovers out there. She took a solid green dress, cinched up the skirt a bit, added some tulle as a belt and hair sash then added a yarn pouf to her simple heels to get that tinker bell shoe look. Top of the look with a wand and some glittery makeup and you have a magical look!

Heidi from Happiness Homemade put together this awesome DIY tooth fairy costume for herself! She re purposed her wedding dress as a tooth fairy dress, although you could use any white dress! Heidi crafted up a tooth fairy wand, a stary glitter headband and added some store bought wings…. perfect! Now she just needs a tiny little bag to keep all of the teeth in that she picks up every night!

Delia from Delia Creates created this amazing cut out spider web cape with fleece fabric! It’s a no sew costume accessory plus it is super versatile! Delia paired it with witch accessories, but you could easily attach a giant spider to your back and be a spider for Halloween! It’s kind of of like creating a giant snowflake.

Here’s a clever Halloween costume… a DIY Scrabble costume! It looks like Sara sewed her own dress and used card board letters to spell out the Scrabble words, but I think this could be done no sew too! If you could find a cheap white dress, you could use paint pens, duck tape or iron on fabric to create boxes. Then just write in your “double word scores” and spell out your words! I like that Sara’s scrabble costume even makes a political statement!

I love the rubik’s cube! I wish I could say I can do the whole cube, but that would be lying. I can, however, do one side really good and really fast, ha! Emily turned her husband into a life size rubik’s cube with a cardboard box, spray paint, felt, and a hot glue gun. I for one, am super duper impressed! Oh and I love that this costume could easily be made for a kid too. Another fun idea, would be to make the squares velcro so that you could actually move them around!
To see the detailed handmade rubiks cube costume tutorial check out Emily’s blog, The Benson Street. Be sure to check back next week because we’ll have a new costume tutorial every day next week!

Here’s a super clever DIY adult Halloween costume… turn yourself into a self portrait of Vincent Van Gogh! For this costume you’ll need to use chalk on a black thrift store suit jacket and be prepared to grow out your beard and dye it red. Paint a straw hat with short lines of color and continue that pattern on your face. This is one clever DIY adult Halloween costume!
Here is the actual Vincent Van Gogh self portrait:
