23 Amazing DIY Kids Halloween Costumes
Do your kids love dressing up for Halloween? If they fancy wearing something other than their shop-bought Elsa or Spiderman costumes, there's plenty of incredible DIY costume inspiration to be found online.
Here, I've rounded up 23 of my favourite creative homemade costumes for kids, all lovingly crafted from an assortment of cardboard, fabric, pom poms and other bits-and-bobs. Some costumes are very simple, no-sew projects that you can throw together at the last minute. Others require a bit more time and effort. Dig in, scouts.
