This simple Miguel costume is one that can be used on Halloween and beyond. Who doesn’t love a ‘costume’ that can be worn as regular clothes come November 1st?! You can use a Cricut or just a pair of simple scissors.

My newest costume is this fun bluey costume. Don’t miss it and all my other DIYs, Halloween, and more!

What you need for your DIY Miguel Coco Costume

Make Your Coco Costume!

First, you will wash your hoodie! With such a rich color like this, I highly suggest washing this alone. I had to bleach my white tank tops because I washed them together. (That was dumb!)

After you have washed it pull out your tape measure! You will measure from the top of the shoulder seam to the arm cuff.

For a 2t, I measured 9.25 inches. It’s always best to overestimate and just cut off what isn’t needed after you cut it.

Load up your Cricut and cut your Everyday Iron on. You can use this file if you don’t know how to make a stripe yourself! You will need to adjust the length if you need it bigger or smaller.

If you don’t have a Cricut, simply use a straight edge and some scissors to cut out the stripe. The Cricut will make this a lot easier for you but cutting out a rectangle isn’t too hard either!

Once you have cut your iron on, you will lay the sleeve as pictured above. You want it to be right on the top of the child’s arm and on mine there was a line that showed me exactly where it needed to be!

Heat up your EasyPress to 320 and then press it on the sweater for 5 seconds to warm it up.

The EasyPress 2 makes this so dang simple. I used the 12″x9″ size so I only needed 30 seconds per side!

Remove your plastic and repeat this step on the other sleeve.

Put on the white tank top and jeans then layer the cute red sweater and you are all done! You will definitely want to make this DIY guitar too because it just totally completed the outfit for me.

I cannot wait for Halloween this year so everyone can see my little Miguel all ready to trick-or-treat in his handmade Halloween costume!
