Looking for the perfect family costume idea for Halloween? Transform your family into the lovable characters from Monsters Inc. with these easy, no-sew DIY costumes! Inspired by the adorable Boo and her monster friends, Sulley and Mike Wazowski, these costumes are simple to create using comfortable clothes and craft supplies, perfect for a fun and stress-free Halloween.
My daughter Lily’s resemblance to Boo sparked this family costume idea. Every time she wore pigtails, the Boo comparisons were unavoidable! Being huge fans of Monsters Inc., we embraced the idea and decided to create our own monster family for Halloween. These DIY costumes are part of our series of no-sew Halloween costume tutorials, made in collaboration with our friends at Beacon Adhesives. We believe in keeping costume creation simple and enjoyable, focusing on building fun and recognizable costumes using everyday clothing like t-shirts and sweats.
