Witch Costume Ideas

This year Bella wanted to be a witch for Halloween, and I came up with this easy witch costume. This cute homemade witch costume was so simple to make, it could easily be made in an evening.

I personally think the purple, orange, and black striped tights really make this outfit. Find all the extras (hat, broom, socks) in the Halloween section in almost any store. A unique witch hat is a good investment because you will end up using it year after year. Everyone needs a last-minute costume up their sleeves for a party or Halloween night.

Cute Witch Costume Supplies

To make this costume, purchase a witch hat, socks, and a broom. My daughter loved picking these items out and I enjoyed seeing her sense of style – no long black dress for this witch!

• Witch Hat
• Striped Socks
• T-shirt (sized for the size costume you need)
• Grommet Pliers
• Grommets
• Tulle
• Elastic headband -I found our headband at the Dollar Store (or elastic tied to fit the waist)
• Peel n Stick No Sew Tape (optional)
• 1 inch wide ribbon (optional)
• Spider Web Table runner (optional) (consider different colors of tule is you can’t find a table runner)

Complement these store bought items with a t-shirt turned into a vest, embellished with eyelets and ribbon. Spools of tulle and a Halloween table runner make the spooky skirt.

How to Make a DIY Witch Costume

Ready for some hocus pocus? First, start by making a vest from a t-shirt. This ribbon and grommet enhanced t-shirt gives the witch that perfect whimsical touch… and it is no sew!

We used this vest idea to make a pirate costume and also Little Red Riding Hood. Is so quick and easy and I think makes the costume.

For our witch Halloween costume we picked a purple shirt that picked up the purple color in the striped socks. You can go with a classic witch look or get as bright and funky as you want!

First, lay t-shirt out flat.

Now cut off sleeves and shorten the shirt if necessary. Leave extra length to trim points in the front of the vest at the end.

Next, cut a slit up the front of the shirt.

Then cut each side of the neck at an angle.

Grab an eyelet tool and 8 sets of eyelets. Fold each side of the front of the shirt under about an 1 1/2″.

Evenly space grommets down each side. As you can see, the vest is already starting to come together!

Now lace it up with some cute ribbon, and that’s it! I thought this contrasting orange was such a cute way to coordinate with the striped socks.

Now that the vest is done, you’re ready to assemble the skirt. The skirt for our girl’s witch costume starts with a DIY tulle tutu and is topped with a lacy spider web table runner.

How to Make the Tulle Skirt

Our witch needed a fancy skirt, so we used this tutorial on how to make a tutu. However, in that tutu tutorial, I purchased tulle off the bolt from a fabric store.

Now, having made the tutus both ways, I think the tulle off the bolt makes a more durable tutu. But both methods do work. We made our tutu a bit more fancy by attaching a spiderweb table runner over the orange tutu.

Start with tulle and an elastic headband or piece of elastic. I used two rolls of tulle but could have easily added more.

First, decide how long the tutu is to be, then add a few extra inches for the knot and double this amount. Cut lengths of tulle.

Place elastic headband around your thigh. Now fold the length of tulle in half and place the looped end under the elastic headband.

Reach under the loop, and then spread it with your fingers and thumb to create an opening.

Now pull the tails of the tulle through the loop.

Pull tight.

Now you’ll repeat this process with the rest of your tulle. Continue all the way around the elastic headband until you’ve created a nice, full skirt.

Kid’s Witch Costume

This tulle tutu is great as is, or embellish it with a lace spiderweb table runner. All you need to put the finishing touches on this fancy no-sew kid’s witch costume is a table runner, black ribbon and Peel-n-Stick Fabric Fuse.

First, measure the waist, and add a few inches for tying. Place Peel-n-Stick on back of the ribbon. Leave a few inches free of tape for tying or securing with no-sew velcro. You will love this product.

Remove paper backing from Peel-n-Stick.

Now gather the table runner along the sticky ribbon, securing table runner to the ribbon. You could also use hot glue.

Place lace spider web skirt over tulle tutu. What a beautiful overlay! Nobody can tell this is made from a table runner, because it looks like a fancy costume you’d pay good money for at the specialty Halloween shop.

How darling it turned out! She looked so cute complete with Mary Jane’s shoes. We’re all ready for casting spells and collecting candy! Whether you have a good witch, a wicked witch, or just a fancy little trick or treater, this DIY witch costume will make your witch the life of any Halloween party.
