No Tricks, All Treat!
Halloween is one of the most awaited holiday kids look forward to, especially my daughter. She’s excited to dress up in costume and receive sweet treats. Well, it’s not just my daughter that is excited for Halloween, I am as well.
As a mom, one of the things I look forward to this holiday is thinking of what costume my kid should be wearing.

It might need creativity, time and effort, but once you see how happily dress up and look pretty cute the kids in your handmade love creation, it’s worth it.
Here are some DIY Halloween Costume Ideas for kids that I created for my daughter using old clothes and recycled materials.
Pumpkin Costume
This adorable costume is easy to make. You can buy fabric in orange color or use an old orange shirt to recreate a pumpkin costume.
