Read on for our favorite Pinterest picks, and click HERE to see our full Harvest & Halloween inspiration board, which we’ll be updating all season long. Trick-or-treat!
A LITTLE OWL
Transform your little one into an owl. Use fabric glue to attach scraps of fabric–from old t-shirts, for example–to a dark, long-sleeved shirt, and cut a paper owl face to tape or glue to a pair of old sunglasses. Your little one will be hooting in no time.

STRONG MAN
Go circus retro with this strong man ensemble. Tape two black balloons to a painted silver dowel. Your little one can throw on some striped pants or a striped tee, some sneakers–and even a fake mustache. Other trick-or-treaters won’t dare to mess with this tough guy!

LIGHT AS A CLOUD
All you need to help your little one float in the sky is some cotton batting or polyester pillow stuffing glued to a white turtleneck. Add white tights, and pair of pale ballet flats to send your little one flying high.

MOMMY & ME SPIDER & WEB
Yes, you can create this adorable Mommy & Me spider costume at home! Craft the spider outfit out of men’s dress socks, and weave a web for Mom by gluing yarn to a skirt. Martha Stewart has the full instructions here.
