Easy DIY Incredibles Costumes for the Whole Family!

I'm so excited about our Halloween costumes this year! We decided to make DIY Incredibles Costumes for the whole family. Check them out here.

Why make your own Incredibles Costumes

Our family saw The Incredibles 2 in theaters. Immediately after my husband said, "We should go as the Incredibles for Halloween this year!" You know I love family Halloween costumes, so I was in. The kids didn't take much convincing either and were super excited about the idea. As you know, commercial costumes can be expensive and somewhat flimsy. We'll show you how to become The Incredibles with everyday items.

What you need for DIY Incredibles costumes

I started out by purchasing red leggings, long-sleeved black shirts, red t-shirts, some felt, and black boots. We all happened to have some black shorts or underwear that would work for our superhero bottoms. If you start early and find sales you can create these costumes for a fraction of the price. Even better, try your local thrift stores.

I bought almost everything from or Amazon. Here's a full list of everything you'll need:

• Red Leggings (these adult leggings and these are great for kids)
• Long Sleeved black T-Shirts
• Short sleeve red T-Shirts
• Black shorts or underwear
• Black boots (long black socks with black shoes could work too)
• Orange Duct Tape
• Black Wig for Violet
• Black Masks
• Red, Orange, Yellow, Black, and White Felt (You can buy sheets at most craft stores)
• Hot Glue Gun

How to make The Incredibles family costumes

For making the logos on the shirts, I grabbed this handy pattern I found on Google. I printed the logo and then cut out the shapes, and set them on top of the felt to cut around them. Then I used a hot glue gun to put them together and attach them to the t-shirts.

Pro-tip: Put a piece of cardboard in between the shirt layers so your hot glue doesn't stick the front and back of your shirt together. I even put one together for Baby Jack Jack on a 0-3 month shirt!

For the belts, we just wrapped duct tape around our waists. Simple as that! There's not much that goes into the actual DIY part of this costume, but I think they turned out so cute in the end! I'm very excited to go out trick-or-treating this year and show off our SUPER family. Plus, it's always frigid on Halloween in Minnesota, so we'll definitely be warmer than we would in store-bought costumes.

Here's a closer look at each one of our costumes:

Mr. Incredible Costume

I'm so glad my husband loves to dress up in family costumes as much as I do! This may be the first time he's ever worn leggings, but he's such a good sport about it.

Elastigirl Costume (Mrs. Incredible)

Helen Parr, Mrs. Incredible, Elastigirl. She's got a lot of names, but one tiny little waist! Now I may not have the tiny waist like Elastigirl, but I do have the hips!

I tucked my hair up to make it a little shorter bob, but for Halloween, I think I'll try a different technique or purchase this red wig. Overall I'm super happy with the costume, though!

Violet Costume

Our daughter is SO excited about wearing this long black wig! We did put a headband on because, like Violet at the end of the Incredibles movie, our girlie has a lot of confidence! I'm so proud to be raising this strong young woman.

Dash Costume

Dash quite literally fits our son's personality and was the first reason we considered doing the Incredibles costumes. He's SO fast and is the first one to go running into a situation that can sometimes get him into trouble (much like Dash!). Since he has blonde hair, we just gelled it up in Dash's signature swoosh and he was set to go!

What if you don't have a baby Jack-Jack?

When we considered how we would make a Baby Jack-Jack our daughter volunteered her Cabbage Patch baby. He turned out to be the perfect way to round out our Incredibles family costumes!

While I didn't take a picture of Baby Jack Jack by himself, he's also super cute in his little outfit. He's even got his own felt mask! If this picture doesn't fit the Incredibles kids' characters, I don't know what does.

We can't wait for Halloween!
