Are these not the cutest little Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Costumes you've ever seen?! My niece was especially pleased with her costume – she wouldn't stopping grinning the whole time!! So I decided to share the process of making this DIY Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Costume for your own kids. Heck, you can even make these Ninja Turtle Costumes for adults or any size, really?!
Along with my DIY Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles costume, I'm sharing 88+ more really awesome handmade costume ideas from talented bloggers everywhere! I'm so honored to be on this hop. Jamie Dorobek of C.R.A.F.T did an amazing job organizing this – it's incredible!
Why make a costume when you can just buy one for $20? Well, making costumes is fun but here are the reasons I would rather make costumes:
- Handmade costumes usually don't fall apart as quickly as store bought costumes
- Handmade costumes are typically warmer to wear – with the really cold temps here in the fall, we usually have to wear sweatpants under the store bought costumes
- Handmade costumes make more memories – the kids can help you make them and they remember those handmade costumes for years.
That's why, when my sister said that 2 of her 4 kids wanted to be Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, I knew what I had to do! The kids totally enjoyed the process as well, as you can see in the video. So, without further ado, here's how to make a DIY Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles costume for about $20!
