Whether you are planning to buy your kid a costume for Halloween this year or make one, deciding on what they wear is usually the hardest part. I always feel like I am pleading my costume case in the courtroom with a pint-sized judge!! I want cheap and easy. Mr. Judgy Pants wants expensive and complicated. We always seem to meet in the middle, thank goodness. 

To help plead your case this year I’ve compiled a list of 15 Coolest DIY Kids’ Halloween Costumes — Part 2. These fun and creative costumes range from super easy (parent approved) to more complicated (what the kid usually wants). I hope you can find your middle ground! Good luck!!
