20 DIY Halloween Costumes for Boys

Halloween is right around the corner! Check out these DIY Halloween Costumes for Boys that are fun and creative.

There are so many costumes available in stores these days and they have really come a long way since I was a kid. The standard store bought costume consisted of a plastic flimsy mask and some sort of plastic ‘suit’ or cape with a print on it. The only problem is, store bought costumes are often very expensive for what you get and they don’t have any character to them. Your son may be dressed exactly like a classmate too, and that’s no fun!

If you want to make your own Halloween costume for a boy, you may be worried that you lack the skills. Fear not, here are over 20 DIY Halloween Costumes for Boys that are easy and perfect to make. Your little guy is sure to stand out!
