9 DIY Ideas for Descendants-Inspired Costumes

If your kids are obsessed with Descendants, they'll likely want to dress as Evie for Halloween. Instead of shelling out dollars at Party City, try these DIY tricks.

This Halloween’s all about DIY Descendants costumes thanks to the franchise’s bow this past summer. We can already guess that the kids will want to dress up as their favorite character from the Disney franchise. But instead of shelling out a ton of cash at the costume shop, take a trip to the Isle of the Lost and create costumes worthy of your little Descendants. Whether your kids are inspired by the villains of the Isle or the royalty of Auradon, send them trick-or-treating in style, dressed as their favorite troublemakers.

Don’t forget to check out our other DIY-inspired ideas, like costumes from Marvel or Wonder Woman.
