I am a lover of Pinterest and a quick search of “Halloween Family Costume” will bring up a host of adorable options to choose. When I am searching, it is important for me to choose an option that is both super cute and super affordable. With six costumes to prepare, I want to make sure I can do some DIY without spending a fortune.
When I saw some families dressed as circus folk, well I was sold! “Our Family is a Circus” was a perfect theme since it was indeed madness in our household! We chose Ringmaster/Lion Tamer, Baby Lion, Bearded Lady, Strong Man, High-Wire Trapeze Artist, and Clown as our characters.
I created much of our ensemble in a DIY fashion, throwing together some things we already had in our stash. I cut up some clothes, hot glued ribbon and borrowed the adorable 500 lb. weight from a friend who just threw a circus birthday party (lucky me they were crafty too!).
Here are some items we had to purchase with links in case that is helpful to you as you plan:
- Ringmaster Costume
- Bearded Lady Wig
- Lion Costume
- Strong Man’s Muscles
- Umbrella for Trapeze Artist
- Converse All Stars (We didn’t NEED these for the costume, but the clown was just so cute with them and we knew she could keep wearing them!)
