DIY Halloween Costumes Using Paper

October 3, 2014 by Francine Clouden

If there’s one thing we scrapbookers and paper crafters have, it’s lots and lots of paper. Let’s get that paper off the page this Halloween by using it to make some simple costumes! Paper is such a versatile medium to work with and is relatively inexpensive too. Which makes it great for making budget Halloween costumes.

pinata costume from Camille Styles

I love this pinata costume by Chanel at Camille Styles. Depending on the kind of party you go to it might not be a good idea though! People might actually want to hit you! Perhaps you could walk with a pool noodle for them to use?

Are your kids into superheros? Make them these neat superhero cuffs using toilet paper rolls and paint!

paper wings at A Glamour Affair

These paper wings made from old music sheets are mind0blowingly gorgeous. There are no instructions, this is pure inspiration from A Glamour affair, but I bet some of you amazing crafters out there could figure out how to do this. If you do, please let me know so I can link you!

Now for two paper doll costume ideas. One of these uses fabric, but I just had to share it too!
