Halloween is just around the corner and—wait, what’s that? You haven’t decided on a costume yet? Wow, way to live life on the edge. But never fear, Broadway.com is here to help! Not everyone can be as crafty as these Wicked quilters, but even if you don’t know a sewing machine from a bowling ball, you can rock an awesome homemade Broadway-themed costume this Halloween. We've scoured Etsy for homemade costumes that other Broadway fans created so you don’t have to! Check out these DIY takes on iconic costumes from Wicked, Little Shop of Horrors, Phantom and more. Happy trick-or-treating!


Ursula from The Little Mermaid
Anyone can be a red-headed mermaid for Halloween, but it takes a lady (or dude) with a certain panache to pull off Ursula. Practice your best evil cackle and get ready to croon “Poor Unfortunate Souls” in exchange for some delicious seaweed-flavored treats this Halloween.


Macavity from Cats
They say you shouldn’t let a Mystery Cat cross your path, but all bets are off on Halloween! Do a little trick-or-treating as the Hidden Paw, a.k.a. Macavity, and you’re sure to get lots of king-sized candy bars. Just pair this awesome Macavity wig with a white bodysuit and some black-and-orange fur, and you’re all set!


Elphaba from Wicked
Sure, there will be a bunch of boring, run-of-the-mill witches flying around on their broomsticks this year, but this gorgeous Elphaba costume is guaranteed to stand out from the crowd. For an extra surprise, grab a rolling office chair and act out “Defying Gravity” for your Halloween party guests. (You know you want to.)


Audrey II from Little Shop of Horrors
We hope you’ve been rehearsing your booming baritone, because this Audrey II puppet is awesome. Just pair this bad boy with an all-black wardrobe—or better yet, a black wiggle dress and an Audrey wig. Double costume! A hungry, intimidating plant is guaranteed to bring in a huge candy haul.


Christine from The Phantom of the Opera
OK, this one’s probably out of your price range, but it’s so elaborate and gorgeous we had to include it anyway. This handmade Christine Daae wedding gown is guaranteed to turn heads at your neighbor’s Halloween party—just don’t agree to take lessons from any creepy music teachers while you’re there.
