Kid’s Cute Halloween Costume Ideas You’ll Love

Little Indian

 When Aidan was four years old, I made an Indian costume for him.  Braid and fringe added a nice touch to the costume.  We bought the headdress.  

That year we bought a ladybug outfit for Sophie.  Unfortunately, it was a cold Halloween!  We had to add a little long-sleeved turtleneck, black tights, and black leg warmers.  The leg warmers had some silver thread woven in them and they actually looked pretty cute!

 Indiana Jones Halloween Costume Ideas

  The next year, Aidan dressed like Indiana Jones.  It was a pretty easy costume to pull together. He wore a little brown jacket, a pair of khaki pants, and a long-sleeved white button-up shirt.  His mother bought an Indy-looking Fedora hat for him at the Halloween store and his dad bought the whip.  Could he get much cuter?

That year Sophie dressed as Audrey Hepburn, complete with the tiara, which I bought at Hobby Lobby, in the wedding section when it was half price.  The pearls are mine and we bought the gloves.  They were too big for her.  Turning them inside out, I traced her hand and sewed them to fit her little hands.  Then, I cut off the excess.  The dress is made from a Simplicity pattern #2265, out of satin, and two layers of gathered tulle are added over the skirt, just pinning the gathered tulle to the satin skirt, before sewing to the bodice.  Otherwise, I followed the pattern pretty closely.  

Black sunglasses fit for a little Audrey Hepburn and black patent leather shoes finish the look.  We also purchased a little black fur jacket, in case it was chilly.

   Tiffany, Sophie’s mom, works at a hair salon and she had an appointment to style her hair perfectly, as you can see.

   Aidan had his heart set on being Spider-Man the next year.  We purchased the Spider-Man outfit and he was so excited about wearing it.  After trying it on to see if it fit, he did not want to take it off!  He wore it until his Mom came to pick him up after work.

Little Red Riding Hood Halloween Costume Ideas

 After the success of Sophie’s outfit the previous year, I was excited about making a Little Red Riding Hood costume for her.  I picked up another pattern for the costume and made the little dress as the pattern directions indicated.  You have probably seen all the little dresses on Pinterest made from strips of tulle, which are looped onto a ribbon or a crocheted band. They look so adorable in the pictures.

 So, I cut strips of red tulle and attached them to a ribbon to look like a skirt, thinking it would make the skirt look so much fuller.  Then I cut shorter strips of white tulle and attached them to the ribbon, to look like an apron on the front.  Next, I tacked the ribbon in the front and on each side.  The ribbon is then tied into a bow in the back.  

Wanting the cape to be longer than the original pattern,  I cut the red velour fabric longer than the pattern, just extending the lines using a yardstick.  I also wanted it lined, so I cut the pattern out of red satin.  Once the seams were sewn on the velour cape and the satin lining, I pinned them right sides together on the sides and at the bottom, sewed the seam all around the edge, leaving the neck edge open for turning.  The pattern called to line the hood, but not the cape.  You are allowed to change things, and I sometimes do.  The cape turned out beautiful.
