EASY DIY Charlie Brown Costume – 10 Minutes + 10 Dollars! #JPHalloween

Halloween (2)

Welcome to 30 Days of Halloween here at Just JP! My friend Alexa suggested that I do this since Halloween is one of my favorite holidays and I always have a ton of ideas. For the next 30 days, I will be posting a NEW Halloween project to the Hydrangea Hippo YouTube Channel. Think everything from Halloween decor to easy jewelry pieces to handmade costumes and more. You can find all of my 30 Days of Halloween posts by using #JPHalloween on Instagram and twitter or by visiting the 30 Days of Halloween Playlist my YouTube Channel. Today I am on the Really Awesome Costumes blog hop so I thought it would be the perfect day to kick off 30 Days of Halloween with an easy DIY Charlie Brown costume! One of the challenges with kids' costumes is that the schools usually tell the kids they can't wear costumes to school. I cooked up this fast and affordable Charlie Brown costume for under $10 that can be worn to school during the day. When junior gets home from school, he can change into his fancier costume for trick-or-treating.

Isn't it cute, with his little Snoopy in the football bag?! I'll be sharing the tutorial for the football shaped trick or treat bag tomorrow!

And here is the costume without the bag. I think the bag really makes it but without the bag, this costume is school appropriate and ready for an active boy who will be playing on the playground.

I created a fast video to show you how to easily paint this Charlie Brown costume yourself. Watch it below and be sure to pin it so you have it for reference in the future. I am putting up a new video every day on my channel during the 30 Days of Halloween so be sure sure to SUBSCRIBE to my channel to get all of the updates.

    This turned out so fun! I have always loved the peanuts!

    Last year I was Katniss, from the Hunger Games. My Mom crocheted a cowl for me, and I made a bow and arrows.
