5 DIY Halloween Costumes for Kids with Famyo Glow Blankets & Towels

Make Halloween smart, sustainable, and super-cute with these DIY ideas! Using everyday Famyo favorites — from glow-in-the-dark blankets to poncho towels — you can create unique looks that double as bedtime essentials and playtime favorites.

DIY Costume Idea 1 – The Magical Ghost with Famyo Poncho Towels for Kids

Two smiling kids wearing Famyo poncho towels — one in a turquoise unicorn design and the other in a blue dinosaur design — standing in front of a festive Halloween setup with pumpkins and bats.

Cozy, Cute, and Effortless

Nothing says “classic Halloween” like a ghost costume — but this one comes with a cozy twist!

Grab a Famyo Poncho Towel, especially the white or pastel variant, and use it as the base of your halloween dress-up. The hood becomes your ghost’s headpiece, and the towel’s soft cotton keeps your little one snug throughout the nigh

How to Make It:

  1. Place the towel over your child’s head — no cutting or sewing needed.

  2. Add two paper eyes with tape or stickers.

  3. Accessorize with glow-in-the-dark bracelets or a Famyo Glow Blanket draped lightly for a mystical shimmer.

This is the perfect balance between scary halloween costumes and “so-cute-it-hurts.” Bonus: It doubles as a towel after Halloween!

DIY Costume Idea 2 – The Sleeping Princess or Wizard Made Using Famyo Glow Blankets

Bedtime Magic Meets Halloween Sparkle

Every little dreamer deserves a touch of bedtime magic — and Famyo’s Glow Blankets bring that fantasy to life! Transforming these soft, glow-in-the-dark blankets into a royal gown or wizard robe turns ordinary bedtime comfort into a DIY Halloween costume straight out of a storybook. The best part? These blankets glow beautifully in dim light, adding a safe, gentle sparkle that kids absolutely love.

Perfect for cozy home parties, school parades, or Halloween dress-up events themed around bedtime, this costume is equal parts creative and comfortable.

How to Make It:

  1. Choose a Famyo Glow Blanket just as it is — its cozy feel and magical glow are all you need for this look.

  2. Wrap it gently around your child’s shoulders like a cape or gown.

  3. Use a soft ribbon or fabric belt to secure it comfortably at the neck or waist.

  4. Craft a paper crown or wizard hat using colored paper, glitter, or stickers.

  5. Add fairy lights or glow stickers around the setup for that magical effect.

  6. For boys, turn the look into a wizard’s robe by adding a cardboard wand or staff.

This look isn’t just a costume — it’s a bedtime fantasy come to life. With Famyo Glow Blankets, kids can shine safely and sleep soundly after the party’s over.

DIY Costume Idea 3 – The Little Artist Made from Old T-Shirts and Paints

Perfect for Creative Kids

This one’s for the little Picasso and mini Claude Monet out there! Sometimes, creativity itself makes the best costume. Using just an old oversized T-shirt and a splash of imagination, you can turn your child into a walking masterpiece. 

It’s fun, colorful, and completely mess-free when you use washable paints. Perfect for school Halloween stuff events, creative classrooms, or neighborhood trick-or-treats, this costume celebrates every child’s inner artist.

How to Make It:

  1. Pick an old oversized T-shirt (white or light-colored works best).

  2. Use washable paints or fabric markers to make colorful splatters and brush strokes.

  3. Cut out a paper or cardboard paint palette, color it, and tape it to the shirt.

  4. Add a paintbrush prop — you can tuck one into the pocket or glue a mini brush to a headband.

  5. Fold a newspaper or colored paper to make a simple DIY beret hat.

And voilà — your little one becomes “The Little Artist,” ready to paint the town (and the candy trail) this Halloween! 

DIY Costume Idea 4 – Transform Famyo Pencil Pouches into a Candy Collector Look

Two kids dressed for Halloween — a girl in a witch costume and a boy in a skeleton outfit — happily holding Famyo pouches with cute character designs, standing on a decorated porch with glowing pumpkins and festive lights.

Trick-or-Treat with a Famyo Twist

Halloween isn’t complete without the candy hunt — and Famyo makes it even cuter! Instead of plastic buckets or paper bags, repurpose Famyo Pencil Pouches as compact, reusable candy bags your kids will love.

Each design — whether it’s the Unicorn, Dino, or Fairy — perfectly complements your child’s costume theme while adding that signature Famyo charm. It’s a sustainable, stylish way to make trick-or-treating fun and fuss-free.

Perfect for thoughtful Halloween gifts or to hand out during a Halloween birthday party, these pouches are not just adorable but practical all year round.

How to Make It:

  1. Pick a Famyo Pencil Pouch that matches your child’s costume theme (Unicorn for fairies, Dino for monsters, etc.).

  2. Add a strap or short handle using a colorful ribbon or string for easy carrying.

  3. Fill it with small candies or glow sticks for a head start on trick-or-treating.

  4. Personalize it — stick name labels, tiny Halloween stickers, or attach a paper charm.

  5. After Halloween, reuse it as a school pouch or travel case — it’s the gift that keeps on giving!

With a Famyo twist, your little candy collector is ready to shine — one treat at a time. 

DIY Costume Idea 5 – The Mini Monster Crew Created from Everyday Clothes

Cute, Spooky, and Sustainable

Who says monsters have to be scary? With a little creativity, your kids can become part of the Mini Monster Crew — spooky, silly, and absolutely adorable! Using everyday clothes and a few craft materials, you can make fun horror costumes that are safe, comfy, and full of character.

This idea is perfect for last-minute plans or when you want something creative without spending extra. Turn regular tees, pants, and blankets into mini monster masterpieces that stand out at any Halloween party decorations setup.

How to Make It:

  1. Start with dark-colored clothes — black, purple, or green work best.

  2. Use paper, felt, or old fabric scraps to cut out monster teeth, eyes, or spikes.

  3. Tape or pin these details to the shirt or pants for a 3D effect.

  4. Add a Famyo Poncho Towel or Glow Blanket as a cape for extra fun.

  5. Use safe face paint to draw small fangs, whiskers, or spooky smiles.

  6. Complete the look with playful accessories — paper horns, mini broom, or glow stick wands.

For a family twist, everyone can create their own mini monster look — a dino dad, fairy mom, or ghostly sibling. It’s a creative, sustainable, and laughter-filled way to celebrate Halloween the Famyo way!
