Halloween doesn’t need to cost a fortune. And homemade costumes don’t have to be that difficult to make either. Here is a really original and surprisingly simple solution for homemade Halloween costumes for your whole family. 

How about a Lego family? Dress up your whole family as a set of matching Lego blocks, without breaking the bank. Start by finding some unwanted boxes at a store or restaurant. Make sure you have one to fit from the neck to the legs of each family member.

Now, you’ll need to tape up the boxes, leaving a hole in the bottom for legs to come out and move freely, and cutting another hole in the top for the head to fit through. Finally, cut some circles into the front section of the box for the connector pieces.

You’ll make the Lego connector pieces with plastic Solo cups. Make sure they fit through the holes neatly. For smaller children, you’ll only need four holes, to make a smaller Lego. For adults or older children, use six holes and cups.

Finally, paint each Lego a different color like yellow, blue, green, red, and white, with the cups taped in place securely. Use spray paint for the easiest and quickest paint job. Once you finish that, all you need are some long sleeve shirts and some stretchy pants, tights, or sweat pants in matching colors. You will find that you get many compliments on your Lego family.
