There’s nothing that can’t be made from cardboard, like this stylish knight costume. You can find a tutorial for a cardboard knight costume on this website.

or how about a humble Lego brick costume made from a cardboard box?

or a Mrs and Mr Lego costume?

Or a cute cardboard box dinosaur from Hello, Wonderful?

Or scuba divers with plastic soda bottles for air-tanks?

Or a crazy but fun taco costume? The tutorial suggests using felt but you could make it just as easily with card to keep the environmental impact down.

I love these clever pac man costumes from Li’l Buck’s Creations

And this sweet lollipop costume from Oh Happy Day

If you’ve a minecraft fan in the house – and let’s face it who doesn’t – these Minecraft character heads are a synch to make. You can download the printable template for some Minecraft masks,

Lama costume anyone? Here’s a cute one from Mer Mag

Or would you prefer a snail costume from Oh Happy Day?

Another idea from Oh Happy Day is this simple but effective fidget spinner costume.

This is actually a costume on sale by Wallmart but I imagine anyone with an ounce of craftiness in them could make this ‘Rock Paper Scissors’ costume themselves. All you need is three kids to wear it!
