I’ve been working on this Homemade Ironman Halloween Costume Idea for about a month. It is made entirely out of cardboard and poster board. I rewired a few LED Lights and was able to activated them at will. I took the costume around Chicago and got a lot of positive feedback from it, even won … Read more
I just bought green costume paint for $6 from a costume supply store. Ripped up an old pair of khaki pants and put a wig on. This Homemade Hulk Costume looks a bit funny but works somehow.
My son and his friends wanted to be ninja turtles… For this homemade Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles group costume – we took paper disposable overalls from a nearby factory and painted them green. The shell is made of old couch cushions (sponge foam) that we found on the curb – good thing the neighbors threw … Read more
This year, I decided I wanted to dress up with a group and it came down to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Group Costume. This website is my favorite website to find amazing homemade costumes, so I searched and gathered all the ideas and added my own ideas to come up with the simplest way … Read more
I grew up watching the Thundercats as a kid and fell in love with Cheetara. For this Homemade Cheetara Costume I bought an orange body suit and sewed the Thundercats logo on it. The boot covers were a little more difficult. I had to pick out the material and have a seamstress help me. I … Read more

I made this Homemade Soul Calibur Spawn with Cape Costume for a Super Heroes theme Halloween Party. It took me about 7 months to make with an estimated cost of $600 and a lot of late nights. This was probably my stepping stone for many more costumes to come.
There was this costume competition at a night club and the theme was “comic book vs video game.” I had this idea to go as mystique from Marvel because I really like the homemade Mystique Halloween costume idea and that I didn’t think that anyone would think of it because of it being so hard … Read more

Old dress pants and solid shirt underneath. Painted my husbands hands and face green, a little black around the eyes. … Read more
The Robin costume was made from thrift store items. This involved many trips to countless stores to find the right items to fit my son. There were many tears shed with tired kids in the carts and lots of begging every time we past the toy section. It’s amazing how hard it was to find … Read more
