Homemade Baby Halloween Costumes:
Easy Step-by-step Ideas

Are you looking for baby Halloween costumes that you can easily make at home? You have come to the right place!

There are three options available for you: Buy one, re-use your older child's costume or make one at home. All three are implementable depending upon your circumstances. If you want to go for a home-made baby Halloween costume, you have come to the right spot! Save money, feel creative and re-use old stuff to come up with the most unique and super cute newborn Halloween costumes.

Puppy Dog Baby Costume

Things you'll need:

Black marker, glue and scissors
White full-sleeved shirt (ideally skin-tight)
White tights (or trousers)
White P-cap (baseball cap)
Black and white felt
Optional: 2 black buttons and 1 small black pom-pom (If you can't manage these, don't worry; you can always use a marker instead)

How to make it:

Using the black marker, draw spots on the shirt and tights.
Cut two white and two black (identical) ears from the felt. (You can first cut a sample ear using an old newspaper or cardboard and then use it as a stencil to cut the actual felt ears.)
Using the glue, stick the ears on the cap.
Stick identical black buttons at the place of eyes and a small black pom-pom for nose. For newborn Halloween costumes, draw the eyes and nose instead of sticking the buttons to make it safe for your baby.

Your homemade baby Halloween costume is ready! *woof woof*

Baby Octopus Halloween Costume:

Things you'll need:

4 pairs of leggings (ideally stripped or spotted to give it a funky look)
A waist-band (you can take it out from an old pajama)
A (plain) hat and two little pom-poms to make eyes

How to make it:

Stuff the three tights with stuffing (old socks, soft cloth, cotton, etc.) and attach them on the waist-band. Make the baby wear the fourth pair to complete his/her 8 legs.
On the hat, make eyes using either a rolled fabric (you can take it out from the top of the stuffed tights) or make them by marking dots in the center of the white pompoms.
Your easy homemade baby Halloween costume is ready!

Kermit the Frog Halloween Costume:

Things you'll need:

Black marker, glue and scissors
2 white pompoms (or ideally ping-pong balls to make eyes)
Green bodysuit (ideally one size bigger) with hood
Light green felt

How to make it:

Cut 6-8 identical triangles from the felt. You can first cut a sample triangle using an old newspaper or cardboard and then use it as a stencil to cut the actual felt triangles.
Using glue, stick these triangles in the form of a garland around the neck of the bodysuit, as you can see in the picture.
For eyes, mark black dots using the marker in the center of the white pompoms. You can use ping-pong balls or stick black buttons to make eyeballs - whatever your imagination and availability of things allow you to do.
Your little Kermit-the-frog is ready!

Mark small dots on the bodysuit (to make strawberry seeds).
Stuff soft pieces of clothes,scarves or socks (whatever is available) in the bodysuit and hat to give a plump effect.
