16 DIY Halloween Costumes For Kids

Since kids will tell you the day before Halloween that they don't like their costume.

While you were busy trying to get (read: drink) through the anxiety-inducing presidential debates this October, it’s possible that Halloween (and the costume-planning) snuck up on you. Or perhaps your kids decided the day before Halloween that they no longer want to wear that costume you spent $39.99 on over a month ago.

Whatever the reason, if you find yourself in a costume pickle close to the big day, here are 16 easy kid costumes that you could totally put together last-minute ― maybe even with things you already have in the house. Happy Halloween!
