DIY Minnie Mouse Costume

I love dressing up for halloween but try to come up with cute but easy to put together costumes.  This DIY Minnie Mouse is definitely one of the easiest ones that I’ve made and you only need a few pieces to pull it all together.

EASY DIY MINNIE MOUSE COSTUME IDEA

I was big on Halloween as a kid and teenager; I LOVED picking out my costume and trick-or-treating. In the past few years, Halloween has been less about costumes and more about passing out candy to the neighborhood kids. But this year, my daughter is old enough to be excited to dress up for Halloween and I’m so loving that!

I wanted to dress up with her and, since Minnie Mouse is her favorite character in the world, I had to dress up as Minnie.

MINNIE MOUSE COSTUME MATERIALS

Although you can get plenty of pre-made costumes, I wanted the costume to be a little bit more me, so I ended up getting a red tutu and Minnie ears, and I had the makings of a cute Minnie Mouse!

I stopped by the craft store to pick up some felt to make polka dots on my tutu and got to work! And, seriously, this is the easiest DIY ever.

Let’s be real: I don’t have time for extensive DIYs, so this took me all of 10 minutes to do.

I used a mug as a stencil, and then just cut out all the circles, used tacky glue, and stuck them on the skirt.

Supply list for the DIY Minnie Mouse Skirt

• Red Tutu
• Black Felt
• Scissors
• Mug (or anything round as your template)
• Tacky Glue

Complete your Minnie Mouse costume with items from your closet

I added the Minnie ears, a black long sleeve shirt, black tights, and, of course, my yellow pumps to become Minnie Mouse!

Tip: If you are headed out to trick or treat and it’s a bit chilly, add a pair of fleece lined tights to keep your legs warm

EASY DIY MINNIE MOUSE HALLOWEEN COSTUME WITH TUTU

I had fun creating my costume and loved that I could just grab what I had in my closet with a few additional pieces.  

I really only had to buy the tutu, mouse ears and felt which was not expensive at all so I was happy to not have to spend a ton of money on my costume!
