It’s the scariest night of the year and you haven’t had the time to make a costume for your kids or for the whole family? Here is a simple, last-minute, easy no-sew skeleton Halloween costume idea you can make with normal clothes and some white tape. This Halloween costume is so effective that it is as suitable for adults as it is for kids.
Each year, we collaboratively brainstorm costume ideas for our own Night of the Dead celebration. We strive to create one-of-a-kind ensembles that allow my children to actively participate in the process.

This year, my children have developed a deep fascination with Miguel Rivera and Mamma Imelda from the movie Coco. They are particularly drawn to the concept of embodying a skeleton character. As their mom, it is my pleasure to devise a costume and makeup that effectively captures the essence of these beloved characters.
