It’s October 1st! And while, in my mind, that should mean that I have at least another 28 days before I need to think about Halloween costumes, in reality, that time is here! Between family/school/community Halloween gatherings that are coming up well before the 31st, October 1st might be the day I should start to think about it, whether my procrastinating heart likes it or not.
But, never fear, fellow procrastinators! Today we are sharing 10 DIY Halloween costumes that can be whipped together last minute with minimal supplies and no sewing required! These can be scaled up or down to fit any age/size and all of them are beyond cute. Let’s get to the list!
