Here’s some really good diy Halloween costume ideas and tips for kids:

1.A hobo: Use old torn clothes, preferably too big, a rope or twine for a belt, old shoes. Buy a cheap straw cowboy had in the toy section and then run it in the dryer or give to the kids and tell them to take it outside and challenge them to make it look ratty, sit on it, walk on it, drag it behind your bike, then put a plastic daisy in the rim. For a beard use Karo syrup to paint the beard and mustache on then stick coffee grounds to the syrup.

2.Leotards and tights are the best o start with,adds things to it, boys cape favorite character icon on the front , girls black one add a tail of yarn with a type of wire to give the tail shape get a headband and glue dog ears on or any other animal, rabbit white with cotton tail and big ears, purple add purple balloons and go as the bunch of grapes from fruit of the loom . You can also use sweat suits and dec them in similar fashion; Orange and make a face on the top to look like a pumpkin add a orange hat. Overall and shirt put patches on add straw and straw head and you got scare crow.

3. Yellow yarn.What you need: some type of hat ;suspenders or old jeans; some type of denim shirt.

what to do: Cut yarn into desired lengths for hair and either sew or glue (hot glue gun) the yarn ALL the way around the inside of hat (once your child puts the hat on cut the “bangs ” shorter and out of the eyes)

Then sew yarn all the way around the inside of the shirt sleeves (around the wrist) (it will hang over the hands) and also do this at the bottom of the pants (which you need to cut up about 2 inches above the ankles) cut a couple of different places in the pants leg and sew the yarn across on the inside (gives the appearence of them “looking” stuffed) Then day of wearing costume take a black or brown liner pencil and decorate face.

4.Cut a hole in an old bed sheet and pin socks and underwear to it. They can go as static cling.

5. Spagetti and meatballs. Just wear a black or white sweatsuit, make a plate out of construction paper. Meatballs are painted styrofoam balls and spagetti is peach yarn. The sauce is red felt. You can even add a hat with some spagetti dangling and a meatball on it.

6. Use white sheets as ghosts. cut the eyes out and outline the eyes with a black marker. you can deisgn the sheet if you want or just leve it plain because everyone knows it is a ghost. kids could wera a black dress with black boots for a witch costume. use black lisptick or none at all. for the witch’s hat, use a old hat and pait it black and make a cone out of paper or other material to put on top of the hat. you may have to snip the cowboy hat in the middle to staple or glue the cone.

You could really have a lot of fun with it, if you use your imagination. Happy Halloween.
