DealDash’s Halloween Costume Ideas to Make in Just a Weekend

Is everyone excited about Halloween coming up? I know I am! There’s just a couple of weeks left, do you and your kids have costumes ready yet?

Halloween sneaks up on families faster than we realize. One minute it’s the beginning of pumpkin spice season, the next the kids need costumes for the school parade and trick-or-treating. The good news? You don’t need to spend hours sewing or hunting down elaborate outfits. With a few household items, some creativity, and a free weekend, you can whip up fun, memorable costumes that everyone will love. Read on for some fun suggestions from DealDash.

Try a Classic Costume with a Twist

First off, sometimes the simplest ideas are the best! A black t-shirt, some felt, and a glue gun can turn your little one into a cat, bat, or skeleton in no time. For a fresh take, try adding glow-in-the-dark tape to a “skeleton” outfit or sparkly wings for a “midnight fairy.” Parents can join in too, matching bat wings or cat ears make for adorable family photos without a lot of effort.

Movie and Book-Inspired Costume Looks

Next, kids love dressing as their favorite characters, and you can create versions at home without buying pricey store costumes. A denim jacket and striped shirt easily become Coraline; a cardboard box painted silver transforms into a robot; and a blue t-shirt with overalls makes an instant Super Mario moment. Also, don’t forget props, a paper towel tube can become a magic wand or a telescope in a pinch!

Group and Family Costume Ideas

Finally, if your crew loves to coordinate, family costumes are a fun way to make the night extra special. Think “breakfast foods” (pancake, bacon, and coffee), “superheroes in disguise,” or even a nature theme like a garden: one person a flower, one a bee, and one a butterfly. The key is to use what you already have and add creative accessories from the craft drawer or dollar store.

DealDash Has Seasonal Items and Treats

Now that you have an idea of what you and your family are planning on costume-wise for Halloween, now it’s time to decorate!
