Make These Cute Halloween Costumes for Kids with Clothes From Your Closet

DIY Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Costume

The TMNTs are costume favorites every year. Get your little one's shell ready with this tutorial from Love-Lee Homemaker. This costume starts with a jacket and is a bit sewing intensive, but your time and effort will be rewarded when you see your child excited to defend you and the rest of the trick-or-treaters from a Shredder attack.

Upcycled Batman Costume

Batman is a super popular costume choice on Halloween — this particular Batman costume stands out because it is completely upcycled from men's slacks and felt scraps (how cool is that?). Check out the pattern at Red Ted Art and let us see what you make!

If your little girl is a Batman fan, let her get in on the fun with tights and a tutu!. Let the Tutu Girl show you how to make her costume stand out. Don't forget to add the Batman symbol!

Dr. Who Costume

This costume is fairly simple if your kids have a suit in the back of their closet. Dress them up in dapper duds and finish off the outfit with this origami bow tie. If you're looking for a costume that can be pulled together at the last minute, this one is perfect.

Elsa Costume

The film Frozen is still extremely popular with kids, so I'm sure Let it Go is still a song moms hear at least 5 times a day! Get your child into character with this Elsa costume. This costume could be converted from a prom or bridesmaid dress, or you can sew it from scratch.

"Despicable Me" Minions

Those adorable yellow minions are very popular with the little ones — brighten their day with these simple costumes. From the goggles to the wire cleaner hair, the details are spot on. Visit One Creative Housewife for the tutorial, and don't forget to let us know how the costume turned out.
