Handmade Halloween costume ideas! A roundup of outfits you can make with everyday materials.

Kiki (Kiki’s Delivery Service)

[Made with 100-yen items] Witch-style dress ✨ Only two fabric scraps! Perfect for Halloween ♡ #Daiso #Handmade #100YenDIY

This is a cute costume inspired by Kiki, the protagonist of the Studio Ghibli film Kiki’s Delivery Service.

Start by cutting the navy fabric into parts and sewing them together.

For the sleeves, give them a slight puff to create a puff-sleeve look—it’ll make it even cuter! Add gathers to the skirt portion to give it a stylish finish.

For Kiki’s iconic large red bow, take a plain store-bought headband, attach red felt to it, and add a bow made from felt.

Prepare a broom and a plush toy to represent Jiji the black cat, and get into character as Kiki!

Alice

“Alice in Wonderland-style” How to Make Disney Princess Costumes Using 100-yen Store Materials [Now Streaming for Free]

This is a costume made with a 70 cm × 60 cm piece of felt that looks like something a Disney princess would wear.

It also uses lace, hook-and-loop fasteners, and safety pins, but you can make a cost-effective costume for under 1,000 yen in total material costs.

If you make it in white and light blue, it can look like Alice in Wonderland, and using orange, black, and purple felt could give it a fun Halloween vibe.

You can create not only the ruffles on the hem and shoulders but also the bows entirely out of felt!

black cat

[100-yen shop] How to make a kids’ costume Vol.2 – Halloween cosplay │ Black cat 🐈‍⬛ │ Bloomers with tail, cat ear headband, paw gloves │ halloween cosplay

The black cat, which is quickly becoming a cosplay staple, pairs perfectly with Halloween.

You can make the cat ears, paw pads, and even the tail entirely out of felt.

For the ears, you can use a headband or hair clips, and create them by layering and sewing triangular pieces of felt.

For a more realistic look, don’t make the inner and outer felt pieces the same length—leave the inner piece slightly longer.

The tail doesn’t need a fixed length either; just freehand it.

Be sure to leave some extra material at the base so you can sew it onto the back.

Kent (PAW Patrol)

Here’s how to make Kent’s costume using felt, a zipper, and wood glue.

First, fold white felt in half and cut it into the shape of a vest.

To make room for the neck, cut down the center front.

Sew three spots—at the shoulders and along the sides—in a zigzag stitch.

Cut the decorative pieces, adjust their lengths, and attach them with wood glue.

Finally, sew an open-end zipper on the inside, and you’re done! You can use this method to make outfits like those from Super Sentai as well, so get creative and make a fun costume of your child’s favorite character!

Love

“Labubu,” sold by Chinese toy maker POP MART, has become a global sensation.

It’s a character with long, rabbit-like ears and jagged teeth—cute with a pop-style eeriness—making it perfect as a Halloween costume motif.

In this idea, you make a handheld mask by attaching felt to cardboard to create Labubu’s face and adding a grip.

Then, you complete the costume with a headband by gluing fabric-covered cardboard ears onto it.

It’s great because it’s so easy to make.

Since Labubu’s whole body is covered in fur, wear fleece clothing that matches the ear color.
