Now that October is *almost* here, are you all sooo ready to get crafting your kiddos’ Halloween costumes? Yeah, right! We’ve shared a lot of fun kids costume ideas in the past, but working with cardboard, scissors, and maybe some paint has gotta be pretty do-able as far as DIY costumes go, eh? Especially for those of you on the hunt for costumes of the no-sew variety! Snag the deets for this silly costume, complete with a cardboard bird house and colorful wings, here, and scroll on through the rest below!
