A pumpkin is a classic kid Halloween costume. You can DIY this one with a little craft glue and some minimal sewing skills. Supplies

Adult size orange shirt

Elastic

Black felt

Fabric glue or sewing machine

Cotton stuffing or newspaper

Scissors
Begin by measuring your child's waist. Cut your elastic to the right size and sew it into a loop.
Pin and then sew your elastic to the bottom inside hem of your shirt.

Cut the eyes, nose and mouth pieces for your pumpkin out of the black felt. Sew or Glue the felt pieces to the shirt. After your child puts the shirt on, fill it with either cotton stuffing or newspapers to round out the pumpkin. Top with an orange or green knit hat if you like, and pair with orange tights or sweatpants.
