But if you really want to cast a spell over the neighborhood this Halloween, try one of these super cute DIY witch costumes. The best part of witch costumes is the many different routes you can take them!

If you love Disney costumes, there's an idea for fabulous homemade options including a devilish Ursula outfit or inspiration for a Scarlet Witch ensemble. For anyone looking for a more modern witch costume, you'll want to see the DIYs inspired by Fiona Goode from American Horror Story or Sabrina from Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.
