Cute & Simple DIY Halloween Costumes for moms

Can you believe it is almost Halloween? I always love dressing up for Halloween with my daughter and with the baby also coming so soon I am trying to plan ahead this year. We love to get creative and make our own costumes, so I wanted to share a couple of cute DIY options.

My best tips for DIY Costumes

My two biggest tips when it comes to DIY costumes is first to check what you have already, as often times you may have some items that will work already in your closet and in your craft supplies. And the second tip is that if you make the main part of costume fairly simple and really focus on fun accessories, it cuts the time and cost down a ton!

Check out 7 cute and simple DIY halloween costumes below.

DIY Mommy & Me Unicorn Costume

DIY Mommy & Me Unicorn Costume

My daughter is obsessed with unicorns so I knew I had to make our own unicorn costumes. Making the tutu myself took the longest out of the entire process and even that was very simple to do. The main requirement was lots of glitter and we found cute horn headbands to match which brought it all together. My daughter LOVED wearing this and I thought both looks turned out so pretty! Find the step by step directions to make them here.

DIY Snow White Costume

DIY Snow White Costume

I am obsessed with Disney princesses and when I was looking through my closet this yellow midi skirt jumped out at me and I knew it’d be perfect for a Snow White costume. Since I already had the skirt, I went to the thrift store to find the rest of the items I needed and was able to create this costume for under $20! Thrift stores are a secret weapon for DIY halloween costumes and really make it easy to create something cute AND affordable. Head here to find directions to make this costume yourself!

DIY Mommy & Me Strawberry and Banana Costume

DIY Mommy & Me Strawberry and Banana Costume

Another cute mommy and me idea! These strawberry and banana costumes were so easy to make (took under 30 minutes) and were so comfortable, which was a win win for us. These are a great option if you need something last minute and you can get creative and do any kind of fruit! Find the step by step directions to make them here.

DIY Minnie Mouse Costume

DIY Minnie Mouse Costume

My daughter loves Minnie Mouse so this costume was a no brainer for me. This is by far the easiest DIY costume I’ve done as I only needed to get the tutu, ears and some felt to complete it. This took me less than 10 minutes to put together and really is the perfect option for a last minute costume if you’re in a rush. Find the step by step directions to make this costume here.

DIY Snow White Costume – using thrifted and/or clothes in your closet

I’m having a little too much fun with Halloween this year! In case you missed it, I shared my DIY Minnie Mouse costume last week, and today I have my DIY Snow White Costume!

I’m taking my daughter to a few different Halloween parties this year and I didn’t want to wear the same costume over and over again.

I also didn’t want to go with a premade costume, as I wanted to pull something together with stuff in my closet.

As I was perusing my closet, this yellow midi skirt jumped out at me and I looked at it and instantly thought “Snow White.”.

I added a blue sweater and collared shirt for the rest of the outfit.

For the final touch, I went to the crafts store and picked up red ribbon to add a big bow to my headband as well as a red belt.

I know Snow White doesn’t wear a red belt, but I liked the added touch.

The entire costume cost less than $20 since I was able to use items that were already in my closet!

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!
