Easy DIY Halloween costumes for kids

I love DIY Halloween costumes - they are way cheaper than store-bought, and often, way cuter.

Here are some EASY DIY costume tutorials and inspiration that are sure to make your kids look adorable. Most of them can be pieced together using pre-existing clothing and some additional items, and some don't even require a sewing machine.

Oh, and no candy box costumes made of cardboard here… these are super cute and non-cheesy! (cause that's how I roll)
