Last year, I posted about creative wheelchair costumes for disabled children. This year, we’re exploring best of the D.I.Y. costumes for kids. I know it’s a bit early, but I thought I’d post it while there’s still time to actually make some of these things!
And if you’ve made (or seen) a great homemade costume you don’t see here, I’d love it if you’d share it in the comments!

I know! And the scariest one to me is the kid in the wind bag advertising thing. I think it was the first picture. We have them all over the place here in front of car lots and whatever and I have always thought they were a little creepy. In fact, every time we pass one I tell my husband “I hate those things!”…but I love it for a Halloween costume.

Nope, it is the third kid. The one that says sale.

The kid would have to be willing to do the dance, though . . .

These are all really clever. I am impressed. Except for the costumes they wear to Comic Con, my kids tend to wear costumes cobbled together from odds and ends we have found thrift shopping and in sales. This year, however, my 9 year old has decided he wants to be something very specific which has involved major tests of patience and skill on my part. I do not sew. I cannot sew. And yet I have spent hours upon hours adapting thrift store finds and crafting bits and bobs to construct his costume. I told him he better still fit into it for decades to come. I wish he had picked something as fun and simple as those featured on your blog today.

Oh, dear. I wish you luck. Maybe if I’m back home and have space to work next year, you can ask me nicely and I might help out.

Love them, especially the bandit and Rosie (but I’d make her a smaller sign.) If the grandkids lived anywhere nearby I’d be volunteering to make one.

In Canada, the price of postage is almost prohibitive, and one set of grands lives in the USA – so there are Customs hoops to jump through. Not gonna happen.
