Inspiration: $20 DIY Tin Man Halloween Costume

Amy from Sews n Bows shows the most adorable Tin Man costume she made for her young daughter for less than $20. With some creativity, she was able to use a basic dress pattern and a basic leggings pattern to make the tin man’s top and pants. Other parts of the handmade costume include arm covers, the funnel hat, and a big heart locket. To make this for a boy you could leave off the ruffles, using a long-sleeve t-shirt pattern instead of a tank dress and a basic pants pattern.
