Easy, Affordable, Sustainable DIY Halloween Costumes For Kids

If “spooky season” makes you a little anxious, you’re not alone! Between Halloween decorations, costumes, candy and treats, it’s easy to spend a fortune on items that will quickly be forgotten on November first. Halloween can be hard on your wallet — and the planet. Fortunately, there’s an easy way to make this haunted holiday more affordable and more sustainable: homemade Halloween costumes that incorporate clothes your kids can wear long after the candy has been spirited away.


Don’t panic: You don’t need to know how to sew, papier-mache or turn your living room into a crafting studio to pull off these adorable costumes! Even if you’re not much of a DIY-er, you can easily assemble a Halloween costume that is cute and comfortable for your little trick-or-treater and that won’t cost a fortune or end up in a landfill by Thanksgiving.
