With Halloween quickly approaching, most of us are deciding what we should dress up as this season. There are so many ideas to choose from.  Unfortunately, Halloween costumes are expensive and you can only wear them one night. However, there is a way around this problem: DIY costumes! Here are 45 Halloween ideas for women, children, and couples that you can recreate!


Some ideas for women’s DIY costumes include Disney Princess, Celebrity, The Solar System (Buy a galaxy print dress and attach foam planets), The Travel Bug (attach a map to your clothes and create “antennas” with pipe cleaners), Darla from Finding Nemo (Buy a Rock ‘N Roll Girl shirt, wear some headgear and create a fake Nemo fish), Frosty the Snowman/Olaf (Wear white clothes and accessories to your likings), Elsa (wear a blue dress and style your hair into a side braid), Cat in the Hat (Wear a red and white striped hat with black clothes and a red bowtie), Cruella De Vil (wear a black dress, spray temporary dye in your hair, wear a white fur coat, and carry a cigarette holder), Greek Goddess (wear a white sheet and gold ribbon around your waist), Hippie Chick (wear a floral dress with a flower crown), Pinata (tape party streamers to your clothing and wear a party hat), Red Riding Hood (wear a black dress, red coat, and carry a basket), Alice in Wonderland (wear a full-skirted blue dress and a white apron and tie a ribbon in your hair), and a Scarecrow (wear a straw hat, flannel, and make straw lines on your face.


Some ideas for children include: Cat (draw whiskers on your face and wear all black), Superheroes (wear a superhero shirt and a tutu/pants), Sock Monkey, Where's Waldo (wear nerd glasses and a red/white stripped hat), Carl (from the movie Up), Nerd (wear geeky glasses, suspenders, and a buttondown), Viking, Katniss Everdeen (from The Hunger Games series), Rag Doll, Yoda (from Star Wars), Dinosaur, Flower Pot (make a big styrofoam pot and add fake flowers), Legos (take cardboard and cut out a lego shape, decorate as desired), Minions (from Despicable Me), and a Gumball Machine(hot glue mini pom poms to your shirt and make a dispenser out of felt).


Some ideas for couples are; Pebbles/Bamm-Bamm, Jack/Sally Skellington, Dora/Diego, Hawaiian Travelers, Cosmo/Wanda, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Ken/Barbie, Candy Land, The Jungle Book, Mario/Luigi, Peter Pan/Wendy, Pac-Man/Ms. Pac-Man, Cookie Monster/Cookie, and Woody/Jessie.

Great creative, and have fun DIYing your 2015 Halloween costume.

Happy Halloween!
