11 Easy DIY Scarecrow Costumes That You Can Make the Night Before Halloween
Find ideas for the whole family: men, women, kids, toddlers and pets (yes, really)!
Trendy, pop culture-inspired Halloween costumes come and go, but the classics will always stand the test of time. Think about it: People expect someone to show up dressed as a ghost, witch, cat or scarecrow — and really, is it even a Halloween party without all four? But if you worry that these staple Halloween looks show a lack of creativity, then you've come to the right place: Here, we've rounded up the most clever DIY scarecrow costumes for men, women, kids and toddlers that are anything but boring.
Some of the scarecrows on this list are just plain cute, while others tap into the holiday's spooky side with face paint and masks. Spooky or sweet, all of these ideas are easy enough for anyone to DIY with closet staples and a few craft supplies, making them even more perfect for those who waited until the very last minute to figure out their 2021 look. While you can throw on an old flannel and overalls to get the job done, you'll really dress to impress if you incorporate straw, fabric patches, fake leaves and face makeup into your homemade costume.
