Free Halloween Craft Patterns
From LoveToKnow Crafts
If you're looking for free Halloween craft patterns, there are tons of resources available on the Internet and at your local library. Here are a few of my favorite sources for free Halloween craft patterns.
Free Costume Patterns
The most important part of Halloween is the costumes, and there are many places you can find ideas and free Halloween craft patterns for costumes.
The Halloween Costume Closet has cute ideas for kids costumes, decorations and more. From the classics like witches and ghosts to more unique ideas like an alarm clock and a slimy creature from the deep, these patterns will give you lots of easy ideas for Halloween costumes. You can also sign up for an e-mail newsletter providing costume ideas.
HGTV has a good collection of cute and easy Halloween costumes for kids and adults. A magician, a skeleton, a duck and a bird are just some of the ideas presented here. And a few costumes especially for toddlers can be found here.
Costume Idea Zone is probably my favorite site for coming up with ideas for costumes. While there aren't actual patterns included with these ideas, most of the ideas are explained well enough that you can recreate them easily. The great thing about this site is that it has ideas for couples, groups, and individuals, traditional, unique and lazy costumes. If you've got an idea that went over really well at your last Halloween party, you can also contribute your own ideas.
Finally, the Costume Page has a good selection of costumes you can make yourself, from a bug catcher to a ballerina, a gothic chic to a big baby.
