For the Whole Family

Pick out your colors in a cotton jersey knit for your top, and stitch on the classic “M.” Check out Keeping it Classy’s instructions on crafting the perfect M from white felt.

For the BFFs

Pairing up with a friend this Halloween? A super easy (and clean 😉 option is to be a loofah and soap! Here are easy-to-follow instructions on how to make these costumes from sheknows.com—you’ll need lots of tulle in whatever color you choose! As for the soap, you’ll need white and blue felt.

For the Couple

If hosting a Halloween party with your significant other, it’s paramount that you both have full mobility as you’re guaranteed to be running around all night! Try a simple bacon and egg a.k.a. “breakfast of champions” costume! Find the tutorial on how to make these adorable (and rather mouth-watering) costumes at makezine.com—you’ll need plenty of felt.

For the Kids

Dr. Seuss is forever a kid’s favorite (read: you can keep these on reserve for hand-me-downs for years to come!), so decking them out in recognizable characters—like the beloved Cat in the Hat and Sam I am—is always hoing to be a winner.
