Quick DIY Costumes Supplies List
Check out the short video above to get step-by-step instructions for these quick and easy to make Halloween costumes!
Grab a fabric sun visor, a bag of Poly-Fil Fiber Fill, and your hot glue gun to craft this adorable project! The template for the sun printable is at the very bottom of this tutorial.
Campfire Costume DIY
Use Oly-Fun Fabric in fiery hues to turn a plain back t-shirt into a fall inspired campfire! Oly-Fun fabric never frays, so all you have to do is cut and hot glue the items onto the shirt. Add a marshmallow on a stick to complete the costume.
DIY Garden Gnome Costume
I love to create beards using Poly-Fil Fiber Fill, but when you’re in a time crunch you can grab some batting (available at Walmart and craft stores) to make a beard in minutes! Just clip the ends into your hair using hair pins. They’ll be hidden under the Oly-Fun gnome cap. No that’s not starch keeping the gnome cap up…that’s just one of the many amazing qualities that Oly-Fun fabric has!
This costume is perfect for craft queens and kings! Cut and glue strips of batting to create giant loops of chunky “yarn”. Then recycle cardboard tubes from gift wrap to create faux knitting needles.
Pillow Fight Costume Tutorial
This costume literally takes minutes to make and it’s so cute & funny! Fairfield World’s pillow inserts are plush without being heavy, so they are easier to use for costumes than other pillow inserts. Slip into some cozy pajamas and use a belt to strap one pillow insert to your back. Use a safety pin in the corner of the other pillow insert, and slip it onto a necklace cord. If you don’t have boxing gloves then wrap your fists with a bit of Poly-Fil batting instead!
With these quick and easy last-minute costume ideas, you don’t need to break the bank or stress over finding the perfect Halloween look! Each of these DIYs is designed to be simple, affordable, and fun, ensuring you’ll look fantastic with minimal effort. So, whether you’re heading out to a party, trick-or-treating with family, or joining a virtual Halloween celebration, you’re ready to stand out and impress. Remember, the best costumes come from creativity, not complexity—have fun, get crafty, and enjoy a spook-tacular Halloween!
