There's no doubt about it: Halloween is always better when your favorite people are all together. Whatever you've got going on—from throwing a killer bash at home to hitting a haunted hayride at the local pumpkin farm—doing it with your crew is guaranteed to make it a lot more fun. And that goes double-double-toil-and-trouble (sorry, we couldn't resist) for Halloween costumes. After all, dressing up is what the holiday is all about, and there's nothing more entertaining than a great group getup, especially if it's homemade. That's why we've tracked down the latest and greatest DIY group Halloween costume ideas.
While group Halloween costumes always pack a punch, it can be hard to come up with creative ideas for them, especially if you're going that extra mile and making them yourself. But worry not, because we’ve fun got costume ideas that work for groups of five, groups of six, and even groups of seven. (And if you’re looking for Halloween costumes for trios or best friend Halloween costumes, we’ve got those, too.) The ideas we’ve gathered are easy to make and inexpensive, so you’ll have plenty of moola left over for decorations and other seasonal goodies, and plenty of time left over to enjoy other favorite Halloween activities, including visiting corn mazes and decorating pumpkins. So go forth and gather the crew for a night or two of DIY costume-making! And if you’re looking for more kid-focused group costumes, be sure to check out our DIY family Halloween costume ideas.
