DIY Halloween Costumes on a Budget!

   Growing up, my mom always made our Halloween costumes.  Sure there were years that I just wanted the store bought fad everyone else had.  But mostly, I loved being able to have my own unique costume (the theatre girl in me coming out).  So I have continued this tradition with my kiddos!

DIY Halloween Costumes on a Budget!

We don’t believe in the “scary” stuff of Halloween.  Instead, we celebrate the creativity and imaginations God created within us. Using the thrift store, sewing machine, dad’s workshop and the occasional store bought item to pull it all together- my kids get the costume of their imaginations!

Check out some of my past creations and some tips on how to make each costume.
