DIY // Simple Halloween Crafts and Costumes

It's almost Halloween!!! There's still plenty of time to whip up these easy DIY's. I've got five new tutorials up on on the DIY network and I know you're going to love them! Dog costumes, epic beards, spooky scenes and more!! 

Make your own spooky pumpkin diorama that can be displayed every year. This project is a great one to do with kids, in fact Jude made one all on his own complete with a monster popping out of a coffin! Load up on discounted supplies at the craft store as they move right on to Christmas already!! 

Finally the DIY everyone is after is live: Super Simple Spooky Ghost! With little more than cheese cloth and face paint you can create this fun twist on a classic costume. Ronan was downright scary last year, although that little smile could never be malicious. 

Want to know how to create an EPIC beard? It's the perfect accessory for any Viking, lumberjack, or hipster. Could you imagine this on a tiny baby?!? Hilarious!! 

I've got new adorable pet costumes as well. I say pet and not dog because I am secretly hoping I can convince my cat to wear one of these, at least long enough to get a picture. Come to think of it, Eva the bunny would make quite a fetching witch! Of course my mom's pugs make the perfect models. 

Learn how to make this adorable sushi pet costume. This fab sashimi is no sew!!

Get all the details to make a witch hat for your pet. The braids just kill me. Again, only a glue gun required!  

Do you have any plans for a crafty Halloween? I'm working on a couple of last minute pirates, one classic and one of the Dread Pirate Roberts variety (Aaaaaas Youuuu Wiiiiish)! It's gonna be good!
