Turn your baby’s cozy basics into the cutest Halloween looks with these three no-fuss, comfy ideas using items you likely already own. Featuring our soft newborn cuddle sets, convertible footies, and two-piece pajamas—these DIY costume ideas are perfect for your little one’s first spooky season.
Baby Ghost Costume (Using White Newborn Cuddle Set)
Outfit base: White Newborn Cuddle Set
For a timeless, no-sew Halloween costume, start with a white baby set and turn it into a ghost outfit using black felt for the eyes and mouth.
How to make it:
Use soft black felt to cut two oval eyes and a round mouth.
Gently stick or temporarily sew the felt pieces onto the tummy area.
You can also add a cute headband or cap, but our newborn hat is cozy enough on its own.
Baby Mushroom Costume (Using White Convertible Footie)
Outfit base: White Convertible Footie
A whimsical favorite! Use your footie as the soft base and add a red mushroom hat with white felt dots.
How to make it:
Find or make a red mushroom cap using felt or cotton.
Add white circular felt spots to the cap.
Optional: use white felt to create a soft ruffle “collar” around the neckline.
Why parents love it: It’s cozy, recognizable, and perfect for a woodland-themed costume shoot.
Baby & Toddler Butterfly Costume (Using Green Two-Piece Pajama Set)
Outfit base: Green Two-Piece Pajama Set
Your baby’s favorite green pajamas become the base for an easy butterfly costume.
How to make it:
Use store-bought or homemade wings and attach them gently to the back.
Add optional face paint dots or antennae headband for a whimsical touch.
Why it works: The pajamas can be used year-round, and wings are easy to find or make with felt or fabric.

FAQ: First Halloween Costume Tips
Is it safe to make my baby’s Halloween costume at home?
Yes, just be sure accessories don’t pose a choking hazard and materials are breathable and soft.
What if my baby won’t wear accessories?
That’s okay! The base outfit is still cute enough to stand alone. Use accessories for photos only if your baby tolerates them.
Can I reuse these outfits?
Absolutely. That’s the point! Each costume base is a wearable, cozy outfit you’ll use long after Halloween.
How do I attach accessories safely?
Use baby-safe fabric tape, Velcro, or very soft stitching. Avoid glue or hard clips.
Are these costumes good for newborns?
Yes, especially the ghost look. It’s simple, soft, and designed with our newborn cuddle set in mind.
