Witches have been about of the Halloween traditional for decades. At first the Celtic culture started Halloween or All Hallows Eve as a celebration and we have since turned it into a time for costumes, candy, and parties. Witches are always popular with the younger girls and that will include babies.

There are also good witches and bad witches so you have a myriad of colors to choose from when looking for a baby witch costume. If you are interested in making a baby witch costume you can head online or to your local craft store for patterns. For some simple at home witch costume making you should see the tips below.

First when you aren’t really in the mood for purchasing a costume or spending money on fabric you can use the items you have in your home.
