[Part 2] Easy DIY Halloween Costumes (1–10)
pumpkin pants
These are cute, fluffy, pumpkin-like pants with a soft, puffy shape.
They’re made using a 70 cm × 60 cm piece of felt.
The design is very simple and easy to make, but you might lose track of the right and wrong sides partway through, so it’s a good idea to mark them beforehand.
Also, when creating the puffy sections, be careful not to gather the fabric too tightly.
Even if you make them quite large, they surprisingly still fit well, so it’s better to err on the side of a roomy size.
Guri and Gura
These are costumes from the famous picture book “Guri and Gura” by Rieko Nakagawa and Yuriko Yamawaki.
In the book, they’re probably wearing worker-style patch overalls typically used for farm work or gardening.
If you make each one from a single color of felt and finish it so the seams don’t show, you’ll get an adorable design just like in the picture book.
For the hats, start with a simple cone shape and add ears; if you fold back the part where you attach the ears, they’ll look more three-dimensional and animal-like—highly recommended.
The props—baskets, shovels, brooms, and other basic gardening items—are relatively easy to gather.
Holding flowers, for example, can enhance the vibe and make it even more fun.
Anya (SPY×FAMILY)
This is an adorable outfit inspired by Anya from the popular web manga on Shonen Jump+, SPY×FAMILY.
The design is quite elaborate, but you can make it using only items from a 100-yen shop.
If you draw the patterns with a template before you start sewing, it will come out even cleaner.
It’s surprising how easy it is to create a traditional Gothic-style shape just by using hook-and-loop fasteners.
And speaking of Anya, you can’t forget her head accessories! For those, use a template to form a cone and fill it with stuffing—just be careful not to overstuff it.
Minnie Mouse
This is a Disney movie Cinderella costume made from colored plastic bags using white and light blue.
In addition to vinyl tape and double-sided tape, having silver tape will help you create an even prettier costume.
There is extra room at the waist and shoulders.
First fasten with double-sided tape, then use vinyl tape as needed.
Be careful, as some parts are taped from the outside and others from the inside.
Changing the color or pattern of the tape will give you variations.
Pair it with a light blue headband for an extra cute look!
Snow White
You can make that costume from Disney’s Snow White just by using light blue and yellow plastic bags for packing and organizing.
It’s super easy because you can finish it without sewing—just use duct tape or double-sided tape.
For a more authentic design, try gold tape or polka-dot masking tape.
The bodice and shoulder parts are attached separately, so adjust the shoulder pieces to the right angle before sticking them on.
You can also design the waistband of the skirt simply by taping it in place.
