Ideas for Making Your Own Halloween Costumes

Although there are many Halloween costumes available for kids these days, it is much more fun and original to make your own. Often home-made costumes are also more comfortable to wear, and if you involve the kids in the making process they will feel even more special.

The ideas below are all specifically for Halloween and feature traditional Halloween characters. If you would like more costume ideas, have a look at our Costumes for Kids page too.

Editor's note: This page is a work in progress - but given the fact that Halloween is around the corner, we thought that it was better to get some ideas up rather than wait until everything is complete!

Bat Costume
This bat costume has long floaty wings, ears and a mask so young kids love wearing it! Printable templates supplied.

Cat or Kitten Costume
Every witch should have a black cat, and every witch's cat should have a broomstick, too! A cat is a favorite costume for younger children, who may find other Halloween costumes a bit scary.

Burglar Costume
This burglar costume is a fun fancy dress costume for kids at Halloween or all year round - and it is very easy to put together.

Devil Costume
Is your child a little devil? They will certainly enjoy dressing up as one!

Miss Halloween
Adapt our beauty queen costume for Halloween - very spooky!

Mummy Costume
Dressing up as a mummy at Halloween is lots of fun, if a little hot and potentially uncomfortable! We have suggestions for a temporary costume as well as a permanent one which requires sewing or hot-gluing.

Dressing up your toddler for Halloween is a lot of fun. Enjoy it while you can.

Here are a few ideas for toddler Halloween costumes to get you started.
