Coming up with a creative Halloween costume these days can be quite difficult. So many people revert back to the classic ideas that have been put into practice for years—a witch, a princess, and an athlete are all common ideas. It can be even more difficult to come up with a creative costume when you are trying to decide on matching costumes for a group of people.

If you think outside of the box, there are so many different options for Halloween costumes! If you are looking for costume ideas for the people in your trick-or-treating group, why not go as Little Bo Peep and a herd of sheep? It is easy to create a Little Bo Peep Costume, and even easier to create a sheep costume.

Creating Little Bo Peep

A Little Bo Peep costume can easily be created with items you have lying around the house. A cute cotton dress covered by a pinafore or an apron is one option. A bonnet and a herding stick will complete the costume! How easy was that?

Sheep Costumes For All

For the rest of the people in your Halloween group, sheep costumes are a great way to compliment the person dressed as Bo Peep. Making your own sheep costumes is not as difficult as you might think.Â

To begin, purchase a pair of white, long underwear for everyone in your group. Next, purchase pillow batting from a craft store and use a hot glue gun to glue bunches of it all over the long underwear. This creates a wool effect.

In order to create the head and ears, you can purchase a white hat with ear flaps. By cutting the flaps off and re-gluing them on the top of the hat, you have created the ears for your sheep costume.

For the finishing touches, you will simply need a pair of black gloves and a pair of black shoes in order to create the hooves. Use black face paint to blacken the tip of each sheep’s nose, and—voila! Your sheep costume is complete.

Creative Thinking

Coming up with cute Halloween costume ideas is not as difficult as it might seem. By simply thinking creatively and using your resources, you can easily come up with a plethora of creative Halloween costumes for any group of people. Dressing up as Little Bo Peep and a herd of sheep is by no means your only option—but it does have one of the most adorable end results!
