Cops and Robbers  DIY Halloween Costume

You’ll love these homemade Halloween costumes! Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year and I love to dress the family in costumes.

One of the funniest DIY costumes I made was when we were cops and robbers. I got this idea because my daughter used to put all kinds of things on her head like a play butterfly net and tights. I thought she looked like a bank robber, thus our family costume!

This is about the easiest costume you can make. Just put nude hose on your head and stuff a pillow case with newspaper. Stick some fake money on the outside and draw a big dollar sign on the bag. If you have a tiny cop, it’s even funnier.

I have run across some pretty creative costumes lately and thought I would share some of my favorites!

  1. Sooo clever! I love your cops and robbers idea! I have two little girls – one brunette, and one blonde. Last year I dressed them up as Elpheba and Glinda since they loved the Wicked soundtrack! It fit them perfectly!
