Need a last-minute costume for a Halloween party this weekend or for trick-or-treating on Tuesday? Worry not. We’ve compiled a list of easy-to-make individual Halloween costumes for children and adults, or themed outfits for the entire family. The best part is that you probably have most of the materials you’ll need at home already.
Children
