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

Pikmin hat

Let's make Pikmin! [Using only items from 100-yen shops!] Production time: about 1–2 hours

Let’s make hats inspired by Nintendo’s Pikmin series.

Among the many different Pikmin shapes, this guide introduces four types of hats.

All the materials can be found at 100-yen shops, and the outer fabric is easy-to-handle felt, so even beginners can make them with confidence.

The patterns are available for a fee, so be sure to make use of them.

The main body of the hat is sewn with a sewing machine, and the eyes are attached with fabric adhesive.

It seems the pointy parts are supported using a balloon stand.

Stuffing is placed around the stand to prevent injury when wearing the hat.

Minecraft head

How To Make a Minecraft Head (Cosplay, Decor, & More!)

Let’s make a character head from Minecraft using cardboard.

You’ll need cardboard, black mesh, tape, a ruler, a pen, and paint for coloring.

First, create a square cardboard box with the bottom removed.

Since the world of Minecraft is built from blocks and the characters are, of course, represented with blocks, use a ruler and pen to draw a grid all over the cardboard.

Once the grid is drawn, paint over it with white paint, then layer on colors to match the character.

After the paint dries, cut out the eye areas and attach black mesh from the inside—and you’re done!

Dracula cape

[UTTE] With collar pattern included♪ How to make a kids' Dracula cape [How-to]

This is a genuine cape with a well-structured collar.

It uses two colors of satin fabric, with vermilion for the lining.

If you use a fabric called “Pression interfacing” to bond the outer and lining layers, you can easily attach them with an iron.

After sewing around each piece, press it with an iron.

Since you’ll be turning it right side out at the end, don’t forget to leave an opening when you sew.

Add a ribbon at the neck, and you’ll have a very elegant cape with a rich atmosphere.

Halloween poncho

[Children’s Handmade Halloween Costume] How to Make a Halloween Poncho (Hooded Cape) – How to make a Halloween Cape for children

Ponchos that are easy to put on and take off—and simple to style—are a classic costume item.

This time, let’s make one in Halloween colors using black and orange fabric.

We’ll create the hat and the poncho body separately and sew them together at the end.

Use black fabric for the outer layer and orange fabric for the lining.

There’s a tie at the chest to fasten it, but if you want kids to be able to dress themselves, using hook-and-loop tape could be a good alternative.

Try customizing it with lace, a pumpkin patch, or any decorations you like.

tulle skirt

[UTTE] No-Sew, Easy Tulle Skirt Tutorial: Halloween Ver. [How-to]

This skirt can be finished without any sewing, so even beginners can easily make a neat shape.

The materials are soft nylon tulle, ribbon, and woven elastic.

Cut three colors of tulle into 15 cm-wide strips to make bands; be sure to include orange and black for a Halloween-like color scheme.

The construction is very simple—just tie each band onto the woven elastic! After tying on all the tulle, adjust the widths slightly to improve the overall balance.
