Looking for a quick fix for Halloween? Whether you’re attending a last minute costume party or a parent that wants to look festive during trick-or-treating with your children, this is the costume for you! Minnie Mouse is a classic Halloween costume and chances are, you already have something in your closet that you can transform into a modern, trendy costume. Those Halloween costumes from the store are expensive, poor quality, and lack originality. But making your own DIY costume seems overwhelming! Isn’t that a lot of work? It doesn’t have to be! If you dig through your closet and get a little creative, you can put together a costume in just minutes without spending money.

I’ll show you how! Here’s How To Make A Minnie Mouse Halloween Costume In 5 Minutes.

If you own anything red or black, you can make this costume! Here’s what you’ll need:

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

1- A BLACK TOP

Any black top would do! For my look, I chose my favorite black crop top. This gives my Minnie costume a trendy and modern style. You could also try a simple black tee, tank, or even a bodysuit. 

2- A RED SKIRT

A bright red skirt would make your costume unmistakable! For my look, I chose my fire engine red midi skirt from Express. You could also try a red mini skirt, tutu, or even a pair of red pants. 

3- BLACK PUMPS OR BOOTS

A pair of simple, black pumps are the perfect accessories that you most likely already own. Since it’s the fall, you could also try a pair of black boots if you prefer. 

4- MINNIE MOUSE EARS

I happen to already have this Minnie Mouse headband because I got it at Disney World years ago when I last visited. If you don’t already have a pair of ears, you still have plenty of easy options. You could buy a pair of ears from the Disney Store or you could work with what you already have and wear your hair in two buns. Simply put a red ribbon or red bow clip in front of each bun to complete your look! Or you could make your own ears. I created a video tutorial for DIY Minnie Mouse ears for your dog. These ears are just hair clips, so you could make them for yourself! This tutorial is actually my most popular YouTube video and blog post. It’s super easy!

5- OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

If you really want to go all out, you can add a few extra accessories to complete your look. While it’s not necessary, you could use black eye liner to draw on a little black nose and whiskers. If it’s chilly outside, you could wear a pair of black tights or leggings.

If you don’t already own these items, head to the store or order them online! Even if you spend a little bit of money, you’ll still save by making your own costume because you’ll be able to wear these items in your daily life.
