Cuddling with a sweet smelling baby is of one my top delicious moments of life. Choosing a baby Halloween costume is definitely a close second.
While they are still young, it’s completely your prerogative as a parent to decide on their costume. (Enjoy this say in your child’s clothing before the teenage years hit.) Don’t feel bound by cutsie homemade costumes. Plenty of ideas here veer on the frightening side. But don’t worry, you can always pay for their therapy bills when they get older.
If your newborn is still a sleeping little lump, don’t wake them! There are many homemade costumes that can be worn by a caregiver. Examples are a baby Spider with a mom as a web. Also, a baby Oscar the Grouch attached to a garbage can dad. Adorable.
If your baby sits up, there are great options for you. For instance, babies as Cabbage Patch Dolls are ridiculously cute. Especially when they are still in the packaging!
Whether you dream of your baby as a mini Harry Potter or a delicious Twinkie, you will find ideas and instructions for them all.

I had a few variations of the baby disco ball costume, but in the end this was was the easiest to make and the most comfortable, so my son would actually keep it on. I purchased a pumpkin costume because it was the shape I wanted. I then used it as a pattern and cut out pieces of sparkly … Read more
My baby turned 8 months at the time of Halloween this year and I started thinking about what costume to make for her a month in advance.

We are a NAVY family recently stationed in Misawa, Japan right before Halloween. When I made this “robbers and bank bag baby costume,” we had yet not recieved our household goods (3 months without our household goods). Japan also did not offer much in costumes and to order anything online and shipped to Japan takes … Read more
It all started with a novelty mustache pacifier we received from my parents. Once we saw Joshua with it we knew his costume needed to revolve around that rockin’ ‘stache. We rejected Mario on the basis that Daddy had been Luigi several times already and we wanted a costume that would work for the whole … Read more
We all love Shaun the Sheep, the British claymation character and it makes for a super easy costume! I just got a black long-sleeved onesie and black pants and socks and hand-tacked (with needle and thread) some white felt to the front and back of the shirt at the shoulders. I attached a tail of white … Read more
This year was the first Halloween that our son has ever experienced. He is just barely three months old so I wanted to make sure he was cute and comfortable. My husband is a Captain in the army and we had an event that was a costume party. I knew it would be around the … Read more
Baby Jude is nearly 10 months old, and I wasn’t sure if he would be walking by the time Halloween came around. I also wanted to make him a costume that fit his personality, and settled on a fluffy baby chick. I started with a sleep sack, and then sewed a lining into it to … Read more
I love making Halloween costumes and over the years I have made my fair share. Oompa Loompa’s, Shrek, a butler carrying a head on a platter. My daughter in law wanted me to crochet a wig for my six month old granddaughter Addisyn to be a Cabbage Patch doll for Halloween. She already looks like … Read more
I knew I wanted to make my 8 month old baby boy Harry Potter this year. I didn’t want to buy the costume-I wanted to make it more personal. It started when I found gold and maroon fabric remnants on clearance at the craft store. I cut up some strips and sewed them in an … Read more
This year I was blessed with my very first grandchild. On July 4th, 2012 Cayden was born at 8lbs 0oz and 21 inches! He has changed my life forever and I would do anything for him. I have always really been into sewing so when I found out my daughter was pregnant my creative mind … Read more
Well, I live in Germany and fabric is really expensive here. I wanted to make a baby Pokeball costume. First thing I I did was order a baby sleep sack/ bunting pattern and the zipper from amazon.com. When it came I went to the local fabric store, hoping to find a nice thick felt to … Read more
This baby Scarecrow costume was an extremely last minute costume! In total I think it took me about 45 minutes to make. And I made it Halloween morning! I already had a pair of overalls. I cut out some different colored pieces of felt in square and triangle patterns and sewed them onto the overalls … Read more
