Handmade really awesome costumes for babies, kids, adults, groups, and pets!.
Simple Simon and Company is sharing some simple DIY costumes of Halloween past… The DIY Morton salt lady costume is one of my favorite! All you need is a yellow dress, a purple umbrella, and of course a giant salt container!
I know that not everyone will appreciate this costume, but I for one think it’s pretty clever! Nicole posted this picture on the Really Awesome Costumes facebook page, and said her 1 1/2 year old son really enjoyed pushing his candy in the cart versus carrying it! Another great thing, this is a no sew costume and if you live where it’s cold for Halloween, just add some layers to complete the look! They key elements to this costume are a beanie, a beard, flannel, and that grocery cart filled plastic bags and gloves.
So, do you think the homemade bum costume is appropriate or not? There was lots more discussion about it on this handmade kid costume round up post, if you’re interested!

Carolina from 30 Minute Crafts whipped up this totally rad DIY rockstar costume for her kiddo! And best of all, it only took 30 minutes and did I mention it is a new so costume! She cut the sleeves off of an old t-shirt, added gold shimmer iron on stars, rocked out a pair of inexpensive sunglasses, and spiked her boys hair. I love it!

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:
I LOVE the game show, The Price is Right, and thus, I heart this genius DIY costume idea! The B-Side blog wore a Dartmouth sweatshirt and used foam board to create his Price is Right screen. Use ribbon or string to tie the board around your neck, like a giant necklace. And your all ready to “Come on down to contestant’s row!” This DIY Price is Right contestant costume would make Bob Barker proud.

Here is an awesome idea for a clever, easy last minute adult DIY costume! Love it or hate it, everyone has heard of the TV show, American Idol! And for one day of the year, you too can embrace your inner voice and pretend you earned a golden ticket and made it to Hollywood!
In my opinion, the best part of this costume is you can wear your own clothes. Just make your hair cute, I mean you were just auditioning to be on American Idol, ha! The other important part of this costume, are these 2 printables. No worries, I’m making this the world’s easiest Halloween costume, and whipped up the 2 prinatbles for free for you to download!
