Fun DIY Halloween Costume Accessories and Craft Ideas for Kids – NBC 6 South Florida

Halloween is fast approaching, but it’s not too late to make spooky and spellbinding creations with your little ones.

From costumes to crafts, you can use items you already have at home to get you into the Halloween spirit.

Moms With a Mic’s Julia and Marissa Bagg met a crafty mom who’s sure to get your creativity flowing this Halloween season.

Vicky Mir Rodriguez is the face behind Teatime With Aloha and Coco.

A daughter and mother of two, Rodriguez started the social media page in 2015 to create DIY and fashion content for girls around the world. But once she had her daughters, she decided to incorporate them into her DIY passion and they became her inspiration.

“I wanted to do everything with them,” Rodriguez said. “I imagined what my life as a mom would be like and I knew it would be a great tea party for my kids where they would always feel loved, appreciated, and most importantly where they would feel like they were an integral part of everything I did.”

This Halloween, Rodriguez and her daughters shared some of their many unique and affordable craft projects that you too can make at home with your kids.
