1. DIY Mummy Costume with Strips of Fabric<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nA mummy costume is spooky, classic, and surprisingly simple to make. All you need are old white sheets, a white turtleneck shirt, and white tights. For the best effect, use off-white or greyish fabric to achieve that ancient look. Cut strips from the sheet by tearing long bands along the fabric. For an aged appearance, soak them in tea and add some light paint smudges. Dry them in the dryer to roughen them up a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let your child wear their shoes and pull the tights over them. Start wrapping the strips from the feet upward\u2014not too tight, not too loose. If you\u2019re using a turtleneck, there’s no need to wrap the neck (safer!). Finish the look with white and grey face paint. Want a step-by-step visual? This YouTube video shows exactly how to wrap the perfect mummy costume.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n2. Classic Ghost Costume<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe easiest costume ever? A ghost. All you need is an old white bedsheet. Cut holes for the eyes and mouth, toss it over your child\u2019s head\u2014and voil\u00e0, instant ghost! Want to level it up? Fold the sheet and cut armholes; then, loosely sew them shut to create sleeves. You can also add black felt eyes and a mouth to the \u201chead\u201d part of the sheet, cutting out the centres so your child can breathe easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Decorate it with ripped edges or dangling strips for a wind-blown ghostly effect. If you\u2019d rather keep their face visible, cut a hole for the head and add ghostly face paint and a white beanie.<\/p>\n\n\n

You\u2019ll need one big box (body), one smaller one (head), flexible dryer hose for arms and legs, silver spray paint or aluminum foil, and fun bits to decorate\u2014like plastic cups or bottle caps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cut a hole for your child\u2019s head in the small box and spray it with silver paint. In the big box, cut armholes and remove the bottom so it rests on your child’s shoulders. Use duct tape to attach the dryer hose for arms and legs. Wrap your child\u2019s shoes in foil. Want extra flair? Tape two spray-painted plastic bottles on the back as “jet packs!\u201d No silver spray? Use aluminum foil instead for wrapping the entire costume.<\/p>\n\n\n

Rip or tear them, or even burn small holes for effect (carefully!). Smudge the clothes with dark makeup or charcoal and let them dry in the dryer for a weathered look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Add fake blood\u2014store-bought or even ketchup\u2014and you’re set. For makeup, opt for a pale foundation, dark under-eye circles, and a few fake wounds or scars. Tease the hair for a messy undead vibe. Zombie transformation complete!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. DIY Turtle Costume for Babies<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThis one\u2019s adorable and safe for little ones! It\u2019s soft, lightweight, and perfect for babies or toddlers just starting to walk. You\u2019ll need: a green shirt, green and brown paint, cardboard, and a large piece of green fabric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cut a large oval out of cardboard (slightly smaller than your child\u2019s back). Cut a larger oval from the green fabric and glue it around the cardboard edges, stuffing it with cotton to create a dome shell. Add backpack-style straps using fabric or elastic. Decorate the shell with painted patterns or lines. Once dry, secure the underside with more fabric so little hands can\u2019t pull it apart. Your mini turtle is ready to go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"turtle](\"https:\/\/www.niania-sitly.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2025\/08\/Halloween-kostumer-boern-diy-turtle-1024x411.webp\")
