Buying licensed character costumes can be pricey, but that doesn’t mean you have to break the bank to play dress-up. DIY costumes will allow your kids to join in on the fun while your budget remains intact. Many costumes can be put together using items you already have around the home and a few budget-friendly supplies.
The 2025 hot costume list includes characters from the Inside Out movies, Wicked, Minecraft, and more. Luckily, many of the favorites are DIY friendly and budget-focused. Check out how you can bring these popular characters to life with the DIY costumes below!
