How to Make a Rag Doll Costume #31DIYCostumes

By Sister In Law Lynn 1 Comment

Its finally day 31 at Crystal and Comp and we are going to be wrapping up our DIY Halloween Costumes!! I think I have saved the best for last!! Today I am showing you all a tutorial on how to make a Rag Doll Halloween costume.

This costume idea is a mother/daughter Halloween costume, but you could always just make one or the other. I LOVE the red yarn hair. The outfits they have on really add to the costume as well.

The hair is pretty simple, really. You need a lot of red yarn, or whichever color you might choose, felt strips, scissors, embroidery floss (or thread) and 2 hair combs for each wig you are making.

I found this tutorial over at A Beautiful Mess. The idea could also be used for so many other costumes and it really is one of a kind.

Totally cute huh? I love it. I am sure my sister-in-law Crystal would love to dress up as this for Halloween this year. Right Crystal?

Head over here to see this tutorial on how to make a Rag Doll Halloween Costume. As always do not forget to Pin this idea to your Pinterest board.

How to Make a Lego Costume From Cardboard #31DIYCostumes

Today is day 30 and I have found a super cute Lego costume for you all to check out. I love this idea because what kid does not just LOVE legos? I used to play with these as a kid and find myself still enjoying putting them together with my kiddos.

This tutorial I found over at Country Living and it is so simple. All you need for this costume idea is a large cardboard box, eight round craft boxes and whichever color spray paint you choose. DIY Halloween costumes are so much fun because you can make them yourself choosing inexpensive materials. All of these things can be found around your home, or from someones leftovers.

This Halloween costume will seriously cost you nothing hardly, if anything. If several kiddos dressed up as Lego’s you could have several different colors as well. There are even pink Lego’s these days.

See what I mean about this little Lego costume? Too cute, right?!?!

Head on over here to see the full tutorial of this Lego Costume. Its very simple!!

Also, do not forget to pin this to your Pinterest board for easy keeping. You could really use this costume for many other things in the future.

Can you believe it is already day 29 over here at Crystal and Comp? We only have two more costumes to share with you guys and then you get to start making those awesome DIY Halloween Costumes. This next costume is so fun. It is one of my favorite candies this time of the year and hopefully your too.

Today we are talking about a Candy Corn tutorial I found over at Snippets of My Family, Faith and Crafting. This tutorial does require some sewing skills, but do not worry because she has a great tutorial showing you exactly what you should be doing.

This costume is made for a little baby girl, but you could totally change this into a dress for an older girl to wear. I just love the bow at the top of the dress. It really adds to the outfit.

Now doesn’t this costume make you want to eat some candy corn? It makes me want to!!

How to Make a Mad Scientist Costume #31DIYCostumes

By Sister In Law Lynn 2 Comments

Its day 28 and today I have found a Halloween costume that is great for those older kiddos as well as the younger kiddos. I think its harder to find cute costumes as the kids get older. Many of the costumes now for older kids are just scary and not cute.

Like other DIY Halloween costumes this tutorial I have found is complete from head to toe. This mad scientist tutorial comes with brains and all. You can make the brains looks bloody or not. Which ever you or your child prefer.

The brains are actually the hardest part to this costume and would make a great science experiment while you guys are at it. I found the mad scientist costume over at Lisa Storms and the brain tutorial over at Paper, Plate, and Plane!!

See what I am telling you about with that brain? Cool science experiment for those homeschoolers or just people who LOVE science, like myself. Click here to see the full mad scientist costume idea and click here for the brain tutorial.

As always do not forget to pin this to your Pinterest board for easy finding when you are ready.

How to Make a Peacock Halloween Costume #31DIYCostumes

By Sister In Law Lynn 1 Comment

Little girl costumes are just too cute. Add some feather and some orange tights and this little peacock will be so adorable. On day 27 we are talking about a cute, little blue peacock. The feathers I think really add to this costume idea and the orange tights give the look of real peacock legs.

Like other DIY Halloween costumes you can find many of these supplies around your own home. By doing this you can really cut the price of the costume down. Many families go out and spend over $100 at Halloween time on multiple costumes. So what better way to just make your own?

I found this cute tutorial over at Creatively Christy and many of the supplies she bought and then just put all of the pieces together.

See, what do you all think? I just love all of the finishing touches she put with this costume idea.

Do not forget to head over to Pinterest and pin this idea to your Halloween board for easy keeping.

How to Make Super Mario Brothers Halloween Costumes #31DIYcostumes

By Sister In Law Lynn Leave a Comment

Its day 26 of DIY Halloween Costumes over at Crystal and Comp. Today I am going to be showing you guys a costume that has been around forever. Super Hero Mario Brothers have been around since I was little and I can remember playing this game for hours on end.

I loved them and still do. My cousin and I used to play this game and crack up laughing. So much fun.

Nowadays, Super Mario Brothers are just as popular as they were when I was a kiddo. My kids love playing their games just as much as I do… I mean did (well maybe still do)!

This tutorial is fairly simple and may require some sewing. The costume is made out of felt and you just need various colors.

The creator also has tutorials for the popular boxes that have the coins in them. She uses these as their treat boxes. What a fun idea, huh?

I found this idea over at The Russo Corner and you won’t want to miss it!

Now don’t these Mario Brothers guys make you want to go play the game again? I just love this game. Such a fun childhood memory. Click here to see the full tutorial of the Super Hero Mario Brothers boys!!

Do not forget to head over to Pinterest to pin this idea for easy keeping. You wont want to forget about this costume idea.

How to Make Wizard of Oz Costumes #31DIYcostumes

By Sister In Law Lynn Leave a Comment

Okay, I seriously have a soft spot for Halloween costumes that are themed and today is no different. On day 25 we are talking about the Wizard of Oz Halloween costumes. This tutorial is focused on the Tin Man and Glinda, the good witch.

Glinda is a no-sew tutu costume idea with some accessories added to her. The Tin Man, well he is just so stinkin cute with all of his metal-looking attire on. His legs are made of 3″ dryer vent material, which really gives the costume character. DIY Halloween Costumes like these make Halloween so fun.

I found this idea over at Bean Paste and there are even tutorials for the Lollipop Munchkin and the Cowardly Lion. So, you can send several trick-or-treaters out with Wizard of Oz inspired characters.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this idea.

See what I am talking about with this super cute Halloween costume idea? Tin Man is by far my favorite, but you should head over here to see the full tutorial on the Wizard of Oz Characters.

You wont want to miss these. As always please pin these to your Pinterest board for easy keeping while you are here.

How to Make a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Costume #31DIYcostumes

By Sister In Law Lynn Leave a Comment

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles used to be the most popular kids show when I was much younger and now its one of the most popular kids shows for my kiddos. What better costume to find for all of those Ninja Turtles lovers out there for day 24?

One thing that I LOVE about these costumes is they look so real! Each costume looks just like the real ones and you can choose one of the 4 turtles or you can be Splinter the rat. The website called The Instructables has a wonderful tutorial.

Most of the costume is made up of paper and glue, but they are pretty in-depth costumes. You can use these for little kiddos or even for grown adults to go to a Halloween party in. (I think my husband should go as one of these guys). DIY Halloween costumes are great because you can save them for years down the road and you can make them your own.

I found this Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles costume over at The Instructables and you do not want to miss this full tutorial. Its includes all five characters.

While you are here do not forget to pin this idea to Pinterest for easy viewing later.
