Easy, Inexpensive Costumes for Infants

by Erinn

I think buying a costume for a baby is a waste of money, especially if it is your last baby like mine. I decided to use a monkey hat I have for him and dress him all in brown. He even already has monkey robeez, so a monkey he will be!
Here are some cute and inexpensive ideas for your littlest trick or treaters:

Lamb- Transform your baby into a precious little lamb in 30-minutes or less with the help of a white sweat suit, a few packages of cotton balls and some fabric glue. To complete this project just glue cotton balls all over the top and bottom of a sweat suit, and your costume is ready to wear.

Pumpkin- dress baby in all orange even footie pajamas. This hat is inexpensive and baby can wear it all fall! So cute!

Beach bum- Just dress your baby out in a swimsuit, floaties and sunglasses, and you’ll have the perfect no-fuss costume. He can carry a beach towel or use it to keep warm and collect candy in a sand bucket!

Ballerina- buy a tutu that can double as a dress for special occasions, then dress your baby in a onesie. Dress it up a cool headband.


Or you can take the real easy way out and just dress your baby in a $5.00 Halloween shirts from Target or Old Navy or a Halloween themed pajamas!
