Tired of the pricey, cookie-cutter Halloween costumes you see every year in the costume aisles? This year consider making an easy, inexpensive costume at home! Our expert DIY mom bloggers have shared ideas and instructions for awesomely simple, adorable, and creative kids’ Halloween costumes you can make yourself.

1. Wonder Woman

Looking for superhero Halloween costumes for girls? This fun, modest Wonder Woman costume from Angie and Kristen of Blonde Designs is great for young girls. Materials include red and white felt and Velcro, blue boxer shorts and gold accents: "Gold paper was reinforced with clear mailing tape and used for the cut-out stars on the top, crown and belt. Simple gold rope was looped and secured with more Velcro on the inside of the shorts.” Get full directions here.

2. Gnomes

An adorable gnome costume is simple and inexpensive to put together on your own, says Dani Marie of dm designs. Give both boy and girl gnomes a bright red hat, rain boots or clogs, and fun props like kid-sized gardening tools or giant fake flowers. For a boy gnome costume add a bright blue shirt, blue or brown pants, an over-sized belt or suspenders, and a beard. For little girls, use a red skirt, a "garden-pattern" shirt, and fun stockings.
