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!
