Jellyfish
This is definitely an original costume, and it doesn’t involve any sewing! All you really need is bubble wrap, glue, and an umbrella. Don’t worry about the rain; this costume doubles as your own personal shelter while looking really cool.

What will you be for Halloween this year?
these are great homemade halloween costumes especially the jellyfish and bat costumes. I love them! thanks for sharing!
THe jelly fish and catus is a hoot. I have NEVER purchased a costume. Always make original ones. A lot more fun.
I love Halloween and making costumes for me and my family is one of my favorite projects. This year I'm doing a demon headdress and I need to sew up a Grim Reaper costume and Jack Skellington one.
Thanks for featuring my site on here.
Great Halloween Costumes! Thanks for including my 2 DIY Knitted Newborn Baby Costumes – Carrots and Peas. You can see them on adorable just born twins when you click on the picture! BTW – they only take a few hours to knit and you only need basic knitting skills.
