Cutest DIY Halloween Costumes for Kids

Looking for ideas for Halloween? Here are some of the cutest and most creative DIY Halloween Costumes for Kids out there!

Every year I struggle with what to do for Halloween. O has finally reached the age where he wants to decide on his own costume and then I have to negotiate and make sure it’s not going to cost an arm and leg and be comfortable and appropriate for school.

It’s a balancing act, am I right?

But Baby V is still young enough that she’ll wear whatever I pick.

So I’m trying to decide this year and having some trouble. In the meantime, I did this quick roundup of adorable, cute and creative Halloween costumes for kids to get us all inspired. Enjoy!
