Hence we have brought together a few extremely easy homemade Halloween costumes that can be made in minutes and are pretty popular among the kids too. Lets take a look at some cute and creepy costume ideas for kids that are made from the most basic materials.
Mickey Mouse Costume
This must be one of the most common DIY costume ideas, the Mickey mouse look can easily attract attention as the classic character never goes out of trend. All you need is any basic red pants which are preferably of around three fourth in length, a plain black tee and flaps to make the ears. You can also add some more details like catchy colored shoes or the white gloves that Mickey Mouse is always seen wearing, when we talk about homemade Halloween costumes this one has been the last minute easy option for many years and it still works.
Minion Halloween Costume
Growing popular with each year, this relatively new concept of dressing as Minion from the movie ‘Despicable Me’, here we see how easy it is to create the Minions look. In the image we see the kids wearing basic Jeans Pull up suits along with yellow hoodies to mimic the Minion look, further the hair can be made by spinning some wool into fat threads to look like the hair. Finally the look is completed using huge speedster googles and black gloves, you can achieve the same goggles look with regular round glasses too. This is a truly one of the most impressive and quick homemade Halloween costumes.
Chucky Inspired Costume for Halloween
Does your kid obsess over scary Halloween costumes every year with gory themes, well this time you can give them a little of want they want without going overboard with this classic “Chucky” look which has been quite popular among other film-themed homemade Halloween costumes. Here we have a kid who is wearing just a common pull up suit with a red striped shirt below it, this is enough to create the iconic “Chucky the Serial Killer” look. The rest is done through simple face makeup which consist of little freckles on the cheeks and an orange wig of the hair and off-course a Fake Knife. If you have a kid that love Chucky then you should surely go for this one and it hardly takes any preparation time.

If you are running on limited budget or need to go out for a party without any preparations this idea can be a real life saver for you.
