I love DIY Halloween costumes!  I have a Pinterest board full of cute costumes and during September and October, I constantly brainstorm ideas for unique costumes for my kiddos.  Today I’m sharing 10 truly adorable costumes {ahem, some of them may be mine!} that will have you reaching for your pin button.

These Gator Boys costumes {from A Night Owl Blog} are perfect for my Luke.  He’s seen every episode of Gator Boys and often digs items out of our dress-up box so he can look like Paul.

How simple and how stinkin’ cute is the Stick Man {from All for the Boys}?  You could even throw together this fabulous costume for a last minute party.

My Lego Man costume is still one of my favorites.  A bit of duct tape and a few dollar store items and you can have a minifigure costume for your boy.

This Mary Poppins costume {from Emphasis Added} just makes me smile.

And there’s no cuter costume to me than the Little Old Lady costume {posted by Angie on Costume Works} that’s circulating all over Pinterest.  Absolutely adorable.

My Gumball Machine was a huge hit the year Tate wore it.  It cost us less than $10 to make and had people ooh-ing and aah-ing over her all night.

I’ve always loved this Garbage Truck costume {posted by Stacy on Costume Works} and wish Luke were just a bit smaller {so I could coerce him to wear it … smile}.

I know I’m sharing a number of my own costumes but I can’t leave out the Flower Pot costume that Tate wore last year.  So easy and just way too cute.

I love this Monster costume {from Lisa Storms} because it’s made from a storebought hoodie and is so simple to make but it’s fabulous.

And if you don’t sew, here’s a sweet Owl costume {from The Mom Creative}!

Adorable, right?  I’d love to hear your costume plans this Halloween!
