With a little creativity and some step-by-step tutorials you can DIY an awesome costume for your little one (& toddler) for a fraction of the cost. So grab your hot glue & lightweight stroller to decorate and let’s get crafty!

1. Blackjack Dealer

Go all in on this super simple baby stroller costume idea! Snag some table felt online, recycle a piece of cardboard, use that card deck that's somehow missing the King of Hearts and borrow the leftover poker chips from the junk drawer to complete this costume. Add the cutest dealer in town and this is sure to be a hit! (psst: Don’t forget to glue the cards & chips down)

Hotdogs, hotdogs, get ya hotdogs heyah! We love this idea for how simple and customizable it is - you can dress your baby up or have the whole family in on the fun.

4. Baby iPhone

Looking for a last minute baby costume? This idea from Rookie Moms is for you! All you need is a big piece of foam core, a Sharpie and a box cutter. You have a zillion pictures of your baby on your phone anyways, might as well make the real life version!

5. Straight To Jail

Dress them up as the monopoly man and you’ve got America’s favorite board game (& we do mean board, because dang Monopoly takes forever to play). Not into board games?

7. Baby Shark (attack) Do-Do-Do-Doooo

What you’ll need:

• Baby shark costume
• White T-Shirt for Mom

Complete the look by decking out your stroller with some underwater decor and giving your baby shark a place to nap when they're tired. Breastfeeding can be challenging, sometimes laughing about it can make you feel a bit better.
