This might be one of the cutest ideas yet! Embellish a sweatshirt with details to make a monster costume. There is also an idea to add ruffles that look like a skeleton for a girl. So fun. I also love that embellishing a sweatshirt is a warm costume idea for a chilly Halloween night!

This is an awesome refashion idea. Take cardboard and paint a headpiece for a Halloween Costume. The possibilities are endless. And I love that it’s so affordable.
