20 Adorable Handmade Halloween Baby Costumes to Buy
I grew up with handmade Halloween costumes that were passed from sister to sister to cousin to friend — and I knew I wanted to carry on that tradition. There’s something so personal and creative about making an heirloom-quality costume, and the ideas are more accessible than ever nowadays, what with blogs and Pinterest.
Yet with all of my ambition, I seem to be lacking talent.
Luckily my sister was blessed with my mother’s crafty gene, so she’s been making his handmade costumes for the last two years. But if she wasn’t around to help, I know that I’d be turning to Etsy.com. For those living under a giant rock with no Wi-Fi connection (how are you reading this?), Etsy is the largest community of handmade artisans — bursting with ingenuity — and the Etsy shops truly shine around Halloween.
For those with a love for handmade costumes and no time/talent to actually DIY, here are 20 adorable handmade halloween costumes that you can buy:
