You can make these adorable Halloween costumes yourself

It's one more month until Halloween, so if you plan on making costumes from scratch this year, you better get started! Craft expert Denise Wild dropped by to show us some DIY costume ideas that you can tackle over the next month.

Panda

• White faux fur
• White stuffing

Pineapple

WHAT YOU NEED:

• Yellow zip-up sweater

3. Cut the green cardstock into spear shapes. (You might need 20 to 30, depending on the size of the bucket.)
4. Hot-glue the green spears onto the bucket with the pointed ends pointing away from the bucket opening.
5. Glue the elastic (to be used as a neck strap) onto the bucket.
6. Glue the yellow teardrop felt shapes onto the yellow vest pieces, curving the base of the teardrops so the pointed ends stick up/out.
7. Glue the vest pieces over the yellow zip-up sweater, leaving the tummy edges unglued. Fill the costume tummy with stuffing before gluing it closed and trimming down the excess fabric.
8. Put the pineapple sweater and yellow pants on, and slip the yellow spa socks over existing shoes or boots.
