Cute DIY! A Collection of Halloween Costume Ideas Recommended for Babies (31–40)
strawberry
How about making a strawberry costume using red felt? Pick up two large sheets of red felt and one medium sheet each of yellow and green felt at the 100-yen shop.
First, round off the corners of the red felt and sew the two pieces together.
Next, cut the green felt to form the stem, sew it, and attach it to the red felt by sewing them together.
If the base of the stem lifts up, a little glue will help it sit flat and look neat.
Finally, cut the yellow felt into teardrop shapes and scatter them all over to look like seeds, and you’re done! This adorable strawberry costume is sure to delight a little baby!
Bat staff
The bat wand is a small accessory that’s perfect for Halloween and sure to delight little babies.
It’s very simple to make and can be put together easily! Here are the steps: First, draw a bat on thick paper and cut it out.
Use the cutout as a template to attach felt, wait a bit for it to set, then cut along the same shape.
Next, glue on eye decoration parts.
Finally, roll brown or orange construction paper into a wand, and tape it to the bat’s back to finish!
Halloween poncho
Let’s try making a handmade hooded poncho that will be a big hit at Halloween events.
This easy Halloween poncho for kids features Halloween colors—orange and black—as key accents.
There’s no need for tricky measurements, so even beginners can create a costume just as they imagined.
The felt used won’t fray even when left with raw edges, so you can finish a polished-looking poncho without extra techniques.
It includes a hood and ties at the neck, making it very easy to wear, and it also works as a warm layer when it’s chilly.
Just slip it on over everyday clothes and you’ll instantly be in the Halloween mood.
Enjoy the festivities with this adorable pumpkin-like orange poncho!
oni; demon; ogre; spirit (depending on context)
One of the fun things about Halloween events is getting to wear a bold outfit that’s totally different from your usual look.
This time, we’re introducing how to make a striped ogre (oni) cosplay costume that’s sure to stand out at any event.
We’ll also make the oni accessories out of felt: a pin-on “horn” and a “kanabō” club with a plastic bottle as the base.
The simple-gather bra and shorts are super cute on little kids.
With such an adorable little oni, you’ll be smiling and happy to hand out lots of treats.
Oni cosplay is perfect not only for Halloween but also for Setsubun.
Enjoy your event with an oni costume that’s a little different from the rest.
Guri and Gura
Let’s make Guri and Gura outfits from felt that even sewing beginners can enjoy making easily.
This time, we’ll trace patterns from clothes you already have at home, so the outfit will fit your child perfectly and be very comfortable to wear.
You can also get all the fabric at 100-yen shops, so you’ll have an adorable Guri and Gura costume ready without any special preparation.
The key points of the Guri and Gura outfits are the colors and shapes, plus the matching triangular hats with little ears sticking out.
The long tails are important, too.
These charming costumes, as if they’ve leapt out of the picture book, are perfect for Halloween events and more.
Be sure to try making them by hand.
A little twist on your existing outfit
If you like handmade Halloween costumes but find it a hassle to make one from scratch, a perfect option is to add a few tweaks to clothes you already own.
For example, when customizing pants, all you need is a drain strainer net and a child’s skirt.
Cut slits in the net and wrap it around the skirt in alternating layers—done! If you have time, stick black cat eye, nose, and mouth decorations onto a black top, and it’ll instantly look like a Halloween costume.
In conclusion
There were lots of adorable, easy-to-make handmade Halloween costumes for babies. From pumpkins and black cats to frappuccinos, these unique outfits will help you capture a memorable, photogenic shot. Create fun Halloween memories with your baby in a warm, love-filled costume that only handmade can offer.
