I love doing matching sibling or family costumes at Halloween. I think it adds so much fun to the holiday! So I am super excited to share the Halloween costumes that I made for my kiddos this year. I thought a lot about what I wanted to dress them up like. Bonus–my son is still young enough to not really have an opinion on the subject. Another bonus? These DIY brother and sister superhero costumes are pretty easy and inexpensive to put together! Some links contain Amazon affiliates, all opinions are my own.

DIY brother and sister superhero costumes

There were lots of Halloween costumes I thought of this year. First I considered Thing 1 and Thing 2. A classic costume for two. Then I started thinking about having them be Woody and Jessie, since my son loves the Toy Story movies so much. Ultimately, the idea to make them Batman and Robin costumes came after my mother-in-law made my little dove a couple of superhero capes. I had already pinned this cute girl superhero costume idea awhile ago, so from that moment on I was hooked.

My little dove’s costume was really easy to put together. The only thing I had to make was the Batman logo shirt. I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut the shape out of Silhouette’s heat transfer material. The mask I just happened to find in a toy aisle at Walmart. His black pants and shoes we already had!

The costume for my little miss was a bit more involved, but still came together easily! The first thing I did was dye a onesie that I already owned red, then added the Robin logo which I also made with heat transfer material. You could save time by buying a red onesie if you prefer. The other main component to the costume is the green tutu, which I made with two different types of green tulle, and some green mesh material. I also bought a small amount of yellow bathing suit material to make her a simple cape. I simply used a large bib as a template for the cape. After all, a cape is basically just a bib turned backward, right? Haha! I already had her red headband so it pulled everything together perfectly!
