Mermaid Child Costume Design Ideas

Whether you're channeling from The Little Mermaid or just embracing your inner aquatic goddess, dressing up as a mermaid is the PERFECT halloween costume idea. All you need is a glue gun, seashells, a fishy tail, and lots of blue glitter.

Despite the tremendous amount of creative, unique, and out-there DIY costumes on Pinterest and Instagram, you will still see some of the most cliche and repeated costumes every single Halloween.

There’s nothing wrong with wearing something that has been done at least five million other times, if that’s what you’re into. But, if you’re going to go that route, at least spring for something DIY that you can make a little bit more different and fun.

One of the most popular costumes, year after year, is a mermaid. You literally cannot go one Halloween without seeing a girl dressed as a shimmery, glittery mermaid. I dare you to try. You can’t!
