Last Minute DIY Sibling Halloween Costumes

Last minute Halloween costume

Sometimes the best costumes are the ones you MAKE last minute, right?! I present to you: our bow-wrapped Christmas present and Christmas tree! Because, why not? 🎄🎀

Raided the craft supplies, dug through the girls' closets, and used things we already had (except for that big bow!). And just like that—an instant holiday-themed sibling Halloween costume was MADE! Video demo right here🎨✨

Supplies to MAKE your own DIY Sibling costume




Gold star headband (add on a giant gold star to top)

DIY Pom-Pom’s (all yarn colors here)

Satin ribbon (all colors here)

Anything else you see that girl wearing for this costume can be found here!

Happy Halloween!
💜Warmly, Steph 




MAKING NOTE: For the Christmas tree bows, I used attached the bows to a bow clip claw bases-this way, we can take them off and reuse the dress later. 🎀 Same goes for the pom-poms and ornaments—they’re just clipped on. 
For the star headband, I attached the big star with sticky glue dots so it’s easy to remove after Halloween. 🙌 Create + reuse. Amen to that! 🙏

Halloween Paper Plate Craft x Gift




Setup your craft mat (we’re using 2.0 CHEEKS craft mats) with acrylic paint in the center pallet, glitter + glue in the clean up and a small brush in the brush/tool holders. 

Have kids paint the entire paper plate (uncoated)

Once dry, glue either black card stock face details or you can get them already made as stickers. Here!

Using a paint brush, swirl together your clear glue + chunky glitter in the "clean" cup. Then brush glitter on top of your Jack-O-Lantern face and the sides. 

Depending on your kids ages, either them (or you) cut a dip at the top of your Jack-O-Lantern face by measuring the width from one eye piece to the other.

Parents Part:
Flip over. Then glue gun the ribbon to the ends of the dips you just cut as well the outer sides of the Jack-O-Lantern.

Place the second paper plate piece on top of the first. MAKING your Jack-O-Lantern pumpkin bucket!


BOO your neighbors, give away as treat bags for a classroom party or make at home! Enjoy! We made a couple to give away : ) You can see more fun color options below as well the full supply list.
