Hall of fame: DIY Halloween costumes (Part III)

Don’t miss parts one and two of this series!

Finally, it’s October, and we feel like we have permission to talk about homemade costumes for babies even more incessantly.

This is a true Hall of Fame, because some of these pictures have lived in my files for five or more years. Witness Caley’s DIY knight accessories. The whole homemade costume utilized her discarded belt and the hood of a favorite old sweatshirt.

Secret Agent Josephine’s merbaby is probably The Cutest Thing On The Internet

My friend Laurie sent me this link last week. Wee Society designed a handful of costumes that use brown paper grocery bags as their base.

Internet friend and fellow Bay Area parent, Leah, made this costume for her firstborn for his first Halloween.

Zoodies – A crafty mama has transformed hoodies into a whole line of animal costumes, available in sizes 6 months and up in her online store. Totally will be worn again!

I don’t think she’s still in business but our buddies at Amazon created these on the cheap! But you could also be inspired to make your own with a little felt here or there.

This hoodie is also a costume – yay for double duty!
