As a teenage girl, I definitely had a streak going with the cutest Halloween costumes. No joke I was a Disney Princess for seven years, a cowgirl one year, and a unicorn one year. Seven years straight, yep you heard that right. I obviously wanted to feel like a princess.
While we typically bought a ready-to-go costume when I was younger, by high school and in college making DIY costumes was way more fun.

DIY Costumes for Teens: Our Top Tips
I think we can all agree that making your own DIY costumes are some of the best Halloween ideas you can wear. Costumes you make yourself are often cheaper than buying a complete costume, it’s a fun project to do with friends, and it’ll honestly turn out even cuter with a customized look!
Here’s some of our top tips for making a cute yet clever homemade costume.
- Raid Your Closet: Look for basics like black leggings, oversized t-shirts, or old dresses. A black outfit can be the base for anything from a cat costume to a witch, while a white dress or outfit can work for a ghost, angel, or Greek goddess look.
- Accessorize Creatively: Accessories make the costume! Make cat ears from a headband and felt, or add a fake flower crown for a fairy vibe. Even small touches like sunglasses, jewelry, or a bandana can transform a look. These are often the best pieces to buy for cheap online.
- Use Face Paint or Makeup: A simple makeup look—like whiskers for a cat, bold eye makeup for a superhero, or glitter for a fairy adds so much to your overall look!
- Use Everyday Props: Grab a book for a Hermione Granger look, a bouquet for a flower fairy, or even a cardboard box for a retro robot.
- Go Thrift Shopping: Local thrift stores are full of one-of-a-kind pieces you can transform into costume basics for cheap. Look for funky jackets, skirts, or accessories that match your theme.
- Think Iconic Characters or Themes: Draw inspiration from popular movies, fairytales, or hobbies—like a pop star, a classic princess, or even a quirky “80s fitness instructor” theme with leggings, a headband, and bright colors!
