What We Keep In Our DIY Craft Closet

With Primary, there’s always a costume in your kid’s closet to build for Halloween! But we get a lot of questions about what we keep in our closet. Our crafting closet, that is. Almost all of our DIY costumes require zero craft skills, zero sewing machines, and can be made with simple, versatile, easy to use materials that are designed for reuse of your Primary basics, after Halloween and beyond!

Below you’ll find a list of our most-referenced craft supplies — we hope they’ll come in handy this October and all the crafty days to come!

We love felt and foam because it can be easily cut into any shape, and temporarily or permanently attached to clothes without needing to finish the edges.
