Waited until the last minute for Halloween costumes? Slim pickings at your local store? Fear not, there are TONS of easy, DIY costumes that you can make cheaply and easily to make for a happy kid to go trick or treating in. Here’s some of my favorites:
Don’t overpay for this popular costume when it can be made in such a more original, budget-friendly way. These are so awesome!
Minion [http://www.makeandtakes.com/last-minute-despicable-me-minion-costume]
Cut your pipe cleaners to whatever length you desire. Luckily, each minion has a slightly different look, so you can be as creative as you like. Thread through the knit hat, go slowly and it should slip right in! Bend the pipe cleaners so they stick up however you like.
To make the goggles:
Cut off a small section of the paper tube, 1/2 inch thick. If you cant two eyes, you can cut another section as well. Paint them silver and allow to dry. Once dry, staple together in the center. To attach to the elastic, simply staple as well. You can place on your face, or even on the hat on the forehead.
Wear a yellow long sleeve shirt, blue overalls, black gloves + boots, and you are GOOD TO GO. Minion! Thanks, MakesAndTakes.com!
This is an awesome last minute costume idea, and cute to boot.
Spider [http://madincrafts.com/last-minute-spider-costume-and/]
Pretty easy and self-explanatory, but here’s the jist of things: Stuff the pairs of black knee socks full of plastic grocery bags, attach to hoodie – if you aren’t comfortable with a quick sew, feel free to safety pin or even duct tape. To the hood, attach adhesive white dots and glue on the googly eyes. Slap on the gloves, zip up the hoodie, and voila, you’re a spider. Thanks to MadInCrafts.com for this adorably scary getup.
I can’t get over the cute of this costume, brought to us by OhHappyDay.com – so very adorable!
Snail [http://ohhappyday.com/2012/10/snail-costume/]
First, make the shell. Crumple up the paper, and starting at the corner, begin rolling it. Once you have a nice section, begin wrapping into a shell, until it is at desired size. Go back and redo with the glue gun to secure it in a few places. Next, make another half shell, and glue the two sides together. Take a square of cardboard and mount it to the shell. Tie ribbon to it to make it a nice little backpack!
Next, make the headband – take a dection of brown paper and crumble until it can stand on it’s own. Add styrafoam to the end, and hot glue the other end to the headband. So cute, so easy. Love this!
If any of you try these out please send over some pictures! We’d love to see how you all look!
Is it any coincidence that #NationalChocolateDay falls during Halloween week? Probably not, and I am certainly not upset about it. In fact, I think my family and I will be celebrating aaaaall week long.
Delish.com was kind enough to let us in on all of the chocolate deals going on in honor of this national holiday. THANK YOU! Check out some of my favorites below:

While the big kids and adults can get a discounted Chipotle burrito on Halloween, the kids get all the love at IHOP on 10/30!
Scary Face Pancakes will be available for free on 10/30 for kids 12 and under! They are available all month, but free ONLY 10/30.
Your kids will love to create their very own ‘scary’ faces using strawberries, whipped topping, mini Oreos, and candy corn!
If you’re anything like me, you know that every year, Chipotle offers awesome discounts for coming in costume, but each year, the rules are a little different. I’m here to clue you in to how this year’s BOOrito is going to work!
As we learned from Chipotle’s Friend or Faux promotion, the chain is vehemently against unnecessary additives in their food, and are doing all that they can to show just how unimportant they are to your meals. To further promote this concept, this Halloween, from 5pm-close, Chipotle asks you to spook them by adding something unnecessary to your costume to score a $3 burrito!
In this super fun video titled “Unneces-scary”, you can enter the nightmare of one Chipotle customer who discovers what Chipotle would be like if they served processed fast food rather than cooking by hand.
Looking for some inspiration? Check out our article feature image to get a feel for some unnecessary costume additions! Enjoy!
You can get 20% off of Amazon Costumes today through 10/4 by using the promo code: TRICKTREAT at checkout. Click here to see what costumes are eligible for the discount!
There’s really fewer things that kill me more than overpriced costumes that your child will only ever wear once – so I love this deal! They have adult and children costumes + some really fun accessories. You’ll definitely find something you’re sure to like. Hurry up!
Live Cheap, Feel Rich!
