I may not have kids of my own, and it might have been a long while since I was a kid, but there is one thing that you never forget about childhood… the epic homemade costumes! My mom was a whiz with a stapler, yarn, hot glue gun and our imaginations! One year she even used tempra paint in my hair so I could be an egyptian princess… I won best costume that year too! Its amazing what a little glue, a little paint and a whole lot of imagination can create!
These parents have got their costume act together… and I might be just a little jealous of the awesome costumes they created! I’ve rounded up 9 cute and clever DIY kids costumes:
2. Hot Air Balloon from Rook No.17
3. No Sew Elmo from Girl Loves Glam
4. Bear from It Happens in a Blink
5. Baby Jax (Sons of Anarchy) from the Sasse Life
7. Rain Cloud from You and Mie
8. Knights in Training from Mer Mag
9. Sock Monkey from Homemade Ginger
Are you a DIY costume kind of parent/party goer? What are you wearing this halloween?
Oh my goodness! I love the little fox!
The hot air balloon one is by far my favorite, but I have a feeling that our toddlers would have it off in about 2.8 seconds. So maybe I'll stick with the Knights in Training, since they like to swing swords all around. 🙂
I love homemade costumes 🙂 And that rain cloud is really cute!
Oh so cute! I love the rain cloud:))
OMG…the sock monkey….how adorable!
