Deciding on a Halloween costume isn't always easy, especially when there's such a wide variety of options from which to choose. From scary couple costumes to best friend Halloween costumes, to easy-to-make DIY Halloween costume ideas, trying to even narrow down the field can be taxing. But if you're a Disney movie aficionado, picking out a Halloween costume can be significantly easier, especially if you're looking to save some money and make your own. In fact, there are so many easy DIY Disney Halloween costumes to choose from, whether you're a guy or a girl.
One of the best parts about choosing a Disney-inspired Halloween costume is that you're no longer limited to the outdated "damsel in distress, strong male rescuer" dichotomy. Now, there are fearless princess warriors battling outside forces to save their kingdoms, and sensitive best friends navigating the highs and lows of adolescents as they define their friendship. So many family-friendly Disney movies have given Disney-lovers countless inspiring characters that anyone, adult or kid, would love to emulate. Read on for our favorite homemade Disney costumes, most of which you can throw together with items you already have in your closet.
Yzma from 'The Emperor's New Groove'
Yzma is one of the most epic Disney villains, and it's time for her to shine in the spooky Halloween spotlight. Of course, if you wear this, you can expect many, "Pull the lever, Kronk" jokes throughout the night.
What You'll Need: Purple feather neckpiece ($24, Amazon); black cap ($6, Amazon); black maxi dress ($33, Amazon)
Elsa
Frozen took the world by a storm when it first came out, and you can do the same with this gorgeous costume on Halloween. Plus, if you live somewhere it always snows in October, you'll feel extra powerful in this costume.
If Anna and Elsa aren't your jam, try Olaf from Frozen instead. His fantasy summer outfit is particularly memorable.
What You'll Need: Coal-button shirt ($14, Amazon); white pants ($24, Amazon); straw hat ($24, Amazon).
Princess Tiana
Tiana was the first Black Disney princess, and her movie The Princess and the Frog became an instant classic — even though it was released years after the other princess films.

Fairy Godmother
Spread a little magic on Halloween by transforming yourself into Cinderella's Fairy Godmother. If you have a friend or daughter to play Cinderella, all the better!
What You'll Need: Magic wand ($10, Amazon); blue cape ($50, Etsy); blue dress ($38)
Hercules' Meg is arguably one of the most underrated Disney heroines of all time. But she literally brings her guy from zero to hero, so get yours to dress up as Herc, and you've got a great couples costume.
The best thing about this Peter Pan DIY? The costume calls for a floaty mint green dress that you can wear again and again.
What You'll Need: Green dress ($22, Amazon); Fairy wings ($19, Amazon); green shoes ($26, Amazon).

Though one of Disney's most notorious villains, Maleficent has a little bit of a misunderstood side, as seen in the movies about her story. Show off her multiple facets in this fun DIY costume.
