Cricut Halloween Costume Ideas
Okay, so we already discussed how amazing these Cricut Halloween M&M costumes are, but we're going to take a look at some costumes you can make with your Cricut that are next-level amazing. Of course, a lot of people flock to Party City and Spirit Halloween around spooky season to get their costumes, but where's the fun in that? My favorite Halloween EVER was when I dressed up as the door from Monster's Inc… yes: THE DOOR.
I had many other "cooler" costumes over the years, but this one always stands out as my favorite because it was part of a group costume. My best friend and I took her little sisters out trick-or-treating with another one of our friends, and we made all the costumes that year. Her sister Jessica was Boo, her sister Juliana who was going to be using her wheelchair for the night, was one of the Monster's Inc workers, so she had the worker's hat and two scream canisters on the back of her wheelchair. My bestie was Mike, our friend Chloe was Sully, and I was the door, and it was AWESOME!
Needless to say, it's always much more fun as a crafter to make your own costume or your kid's costume, or your friend's kid's costume even! For more awesome inspo, take a look at some of these Cricut Halloween costume ideas:
