Gather your friends, it's time for Halloween! While group Halloween costumes always pack a punch, it can be hard to come up with creative ideas for them, especially if you're going that extra mile and making them yourself. But worry not, because we’ve fun got costume ideas that work for groups of five, groups of six, and even groups of seven. (And if you’re looking for Halloween costumes for trios or best friend Halloween costumes, we’ve got those, too.)
The ideas we’ve gathered are easy to make and inexpensive, so you’ll have plenty of moola left over for decorations and other seasonal goodies, and plenty of time left over to enjoy other favorite Halloween activities, including visiting corn mazes and decorating pumpkins. So go forth and gather the crew for a night or two of DIY costume-making! And if you’re looking for more kid-focused group costumes, be sure to check out our DIY family Halloween costume ideas.
"All My Exes Live in Texas" Costume
Pay homage to the George Strait classic with this idea. To bring this ditty to life, we procured a few small town T-shirts from Hometown Apparel and roped in a few friends who were game for an easy group costume. Add some jeans and a cowboy hat from your own closets and you’ll be good to go! (You can also make your own outfits using plain T-shirts and iron-on letters.)

Paper Doll Costumes
Grab your friends or go solo for this fun idea. Use old cardboard boxes to trace the outline of a dress or shirt and skirt, and cut out the “outfit” base. Use hot glue or a spray adhesive to apply fabric to the cut pieces of cardboard. Once dry, cut the fabric as close to the cardboard edges as possible. Add buttons, zippers, or other fun accessories to your outfits using hot glue. Glue ribbon in a U-shape around the shoulder to hang around the neck. If working with two separate pieces of an outfit, glue ribbon around the top edges of the bottom half, too. These will tie around the back of the model. Hot glue the doll tabs on a diagonal on the edge of your outfit pieces. Wear a tight-fitting dress in a color close to your skin and tie the pieces on!
