6 Easy DIY Family Halloween Costumes

Anyone who knows me well, knows that I LOVE Halloween! I go all out with decorating, activities, and costumes. Every year so far, my family has done themed family costumes. For the most part, they are homemade and pretty easy to put together. To share my love of family Halloween costumes, I have teamed up with fellow blogger, Krystal Miller from Healthy Happy Thrifty Family. We will be sharing some easy DIY costumes you can use as inspiration for your own family! 

Wizard of Oz

These costumes was pretty easy to put together. We bought the baby Dorothy costume from an online boutique. For the Tin Man costume, we already had a grey shirt on hand. We simply sewed a felt heart onto the shirt. For the hat, we spray painted the funnel grey and added string to keep it on. For the scarecrow, I wore my husband’s flannel shirt, added a floppy hat I found at a thrift store, and topped it off with scarecrow inspired makeup. 

Witches

For the witches, we already had black dresses on hand. To create a more witchy effect for my costume, I started with a plain black dress, then added layers of black clothes I already had. I found my witch hat on Amazon. I cut off the excess fabric and decorated it with some clips and tulle. The child witch hat I found on Etsy and the cauldron came from Amazon. We found the brooms at different stores while out shopping. My husband, Ryan’s warlock cloak was borrowed. He made the spell book from an old sketch book and the walking stick came from Amazon. 

Colorful Birds

For the parrot costume, we found a shirt with a parrot design from Amazon that worked great. We bought black and white costume makeup and blue hair spray from a Halloween store. For the flamingo costume, I found the pink dress at a clearance sale from a boutique. The pink boa came from a dollar store and was sewed on. I made the hair clip using a flamingo headband and extra boa feathers I attached to a barrette using a glue gun. For the peacock costume, I used a blue and green shirt I already had. I added a boa around my waist and a peacock clip in my hair that were both borrowed. I got the wings from a Halloween store. My hair happens to be dyed green right now, but it worked well for this costume. To get this color, I mixed the Manic Panic colors, Enchanted Forest and Dark Envy. 

Here's what Krystal had to say about her family costumes:

Lego Movie

These LEGO movie costumes were a combination of DIY and store bought items.  We used iron on transfers to put the logo on Unikitty and Benny. Wyldstyle was created using black sweats and fabric paint. We purchased the orange vest online and already had the batman sweatshirt.  The masks are handmade, but were purchased on Etsy.

These cow costumes were really easy to make. We added black spots to white shirts with the iron.  We also decorated plain white hats with cow print and eyes and made cowbell necklaces and tails.

Our costumes for this year are Angry Birds.  They're made out of felt pieces, sewn together and stuffed.  We added feathers and decorated our trick or treat buckets to match the theme.
