10+1 No Sew Costume Craft Ideas

October 25, 2021

We do love getting dressed up and I do love making the kids’ some fancy dress costumes myself. Halloween Fancy Dress is a great time to get creative with the kids. Don’t invest in expensive costumes, that they quickly grow out of, but make some of these easy No Sew Costume Ideas many of which “grow” with your child…. In the UK, we like “scary Halloween costumes”, but I know in the US that ANY fancy dress is great for Halloween – a bit like the Italian Mardi Gras or the germanic “Fasching”. So you will find a mixture of dressing up ideas the kids can make here.

No Sew Costume Ideas - ideal for Halloween
First shared in 2013!

No Sew Costume Ideas:

Many of these no sew costume ideas are perfect for kids to make themselves. They are relatively simple, quick and easy.. and aim to use every day materials (ok.. not all of them.. but the first three are my absolute favourite and they are easily created last minute!).

  • Cheap Halloween Costumes for Kids
  • Easy Skeleton Costume - Copy
  • Easy Halloween Costumes

These three crafts features in the The Times Halloween Special pull out section for kids!

2. Easy Skeletons (+ free printable)

4. Tinkerbell

5. Witch

6. Pirate

  • boy crafts
  • Easy Hallowen Costume Frankenstein
  • Minion Fancy Dress Mask

Paper Bag Dress Up – great for that “reluctant” Fancy Dress Child. I don’t know about you, but my kids seem to always change their mind last minute. So I found masks/ paper masks work really well for them – they can feel “normal” in their every day clothes and pop a mask over their heads!
