Michaels Makers October challenge is DIY Halloween costume.

So fun! Someone in our family is celebrating a first Halloween this year. But babies aren’t too interested in Halloween or costumes so I love that this costume really is super easy to throw together with an existing pair of overalls, and flannel or plaid shirt. 

Grab a few props from Michaels and you have a perfect harvest/farm fresh themed photo opportunity for this time of year, a few decorative items to re-use and a comfortable baby ready for that Halloween party.

 – shop from home!

• bandana – tie on bib-style and/or cut a small piece for tucking to back pocket
• straw hat 
• crate and veggies (artificial carrot bunch)
• fall leaves
• chalkboard garden stake 
• straw bale
• not shown: silver bucket and alphabet stickers (create a milk pail for collecting trick or treat goodies)

Cute, right?

And easy too!

After the fact, you have items for an autumn harvest vignette or centerpiece. Duel purpose pieces rock!
