Simple Last Minute DIY Cute Halloween Costumes

I have been gone for 5 days and Halloween is on Saturday. I need to get going on my kid Halloween Costumes. Personally, I love having the kids come up with something creative we have at home.

One year my youngest was Huck Finn and another Cereal Killer. We used things we already had at home or bought things he could reuse. Here are 5 Easy Kids Halloween Costumes you can make with clothes and items you already use.
