With Halloween fast approaching and most of the costume stock in stores either not up to par or completely wiped out, it’s the time of year when parents hunt for easy DIY costumes that look good and make the kiddos happy without breaking the bank. Here are 5 costumes you can make at home just before Halloween without prior classes at your local craft store.

This is the perfect DIY for parents with toddlers who crave the princess dresses then cry about how itchy they are — Make your own!
Classic Pumpkin
A cute little pumpkin costume is surely one of the most classic costumes of all, dating back to well before 1980. It’s usually one of the first costumes parents try out on their infants just so they can say, “Look at my little pumpkin,” but it’s also a super simple costume to make for the big kid in your family.
