In a world where everything is mass produced, a homemade Halloween costume never seems to lose its charm. Whether it’s an elaborate piece of artwork crafted with painstakingly appliqued and handsewn parts or a more haphazard look, there’s always something to appreciate about the effort involved in a DIY project. Best of all, making your own costume means you have the creative freedom to customize your look, fit, and comfort level. Stop settling for itchy, scratchy polyester costumes that your child will inevitably rip off before you have a chance to take family photos, and keep them comfy and cozy in their favorite pair of pajamas instead.
It’s that time of the year again, it’s what we look forward to every single year. We have so much fun coming up with costume ideas using Kyte Baby pieces, and we love seeing the creativity and talent among the Kyte community during our annual costume contest. Without further ado, here are some of our favorite new looks that are sure to inspire you this spooky season.
