Handmade Halloween: Etsy Costume Roundup

I absolutely love the look of handmade Halloween costumes over store-bought.  But that doesn't mean I have the time, or for that matter the talent, to actually make them.  In the next few years I'm really going to try to work on my sewing skills (and on recognizing that it's about the effort and not a perfect product).  Hopefully I'll be ready to whip something up by the time my kids are old enough to notice.  In the meantime, I'm turning to my favorite purveyor of handmade goods - Etsy.

If ever there was a match made in heaven, it's Etsy and Halloween.  I love that the site has exponentially increased parent's options for purchasing costumes.  The only downside?  To find the really good stuff you have to be prepared to muddle your way through a lot of stuff that's not so great...  Or do you?

You know what? You don't.  You know why?  Because you have me!  And I dutifully spent my Friday night sifting through a mind-numbing amount of knitted hats, owl outfits, and tutus (seriously, does EVERY little girl costume really need a tutu?  Since when do cow's wear tutus?) to bring you the creme de la creme of handmade kid costumes. (You're welcome.)

As always with Etsy, if the item's sold out I'd recommend convo-ing the seller as they will very likely be happy to make another for you. Oh, and one last thing.  Since Etsy specializes in handmade goods, prices can sometimes get a little ridiculous - at least in terms of children's Halloween costumes (I'm talking $400 ridiculous).  To keep things from getting out of hand, I've arbitrarily limited this list to get-ups priced at $50 and under.  Several are in the $20 - $30 range and one is only 14 bucks!  Click through for the goods.
