It can be so hard to come up with Halloween costume ideas for kids! And you are not alone in feel like you don’t want to break the bank in buying one. There are lots of DIY Halloween Costume ideas that come together in an inexpensive way, and some (like this one!!) that are super easy! I love this Hostess Cupcake Halloween Costume. I made it for Piper when she was a baby, but it could be made for a big kid too! And this Cupcake Costume is another great idea!

Years and years ago, I made this easy lego Halloween costume for Gavin, and since then it has been such a popular Halloween costume post on my blog. I once had a reader ask me if it was really as easy as it looks. Guys. It totally is. So I decided to recreate it, this time for Piper, and make a video (check that out at the bottom) to show you just how easy it is. Plus now we have the Lego Head Treat Bucket to go with!

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO MAKE THIS CHILDREN’S HALLOWEEN COSTUME?

a box that your kiddo will fit in
a box cutter
small plastic cups – I used dressing cups found in the tupperware aisle of my grocery store
glue
spray paint

HOW DO YOU MAKE THIS LEGO HALLOWEEN COSTUME?

Start by making holes for the head and arms. I like using a bowl and tracing it and then cutting with my box cutter.
Now glue on the dressing cups.
Finally, spray paint the box. Make sure to follow the instructions on the box. You might need to do two coats and wait a day in between, so don’t start this the day of Halloween.
