Easy No Sew DIY Coraline Halloween Costume

DIY Coraline Halloween Costume – Are you looking for a Coraline Costume for Halloween or Cosplay? This year I didn’t sew a Halloween costume for Sammie, we just hadn’t planned any Halloween ideas.

We put together this DIY Coraline Halloween Costume (no-sew). We actually made two last-minute costumes and thought we’d share these easy no-sew Coraline costume ideas. Usually, we have it planned out months in advance but, this year, nope.

Stay tuned for her other costume, and all our posts by subscribing. I love that she always picks out such unique costumes, most are easy, and they are always fun costume ideas to make.

Coraline Halloween Costume

She loves having more than one costume for Halloween, as the high school puts on a Halloween dance. This is the costume she is actually wearing on Halloween night.

What do you need for a Coraline Costume?

How to make a Coraline Costume

You’ll need these pieces for creating the Coraline Halloween Costume

- 1. Yellow raincoat
  2. Blue jeans (or use your own blue jeans)
  3. Yellow rain boots
  4. Blue wig
  5. Dragonfly Hair Clip
  6. Red/white top or blue top with stars
  7. Chauffeur hat
  8. Red crossbody bag
  9. Yellow umbrella *optional

We think this is the best Coraline Costume and the easiest Coraline costume we made. Bonus it is super cute! I’m sure you can find many of the items at the thrift shop or in your closets. The makeup recommendations are below. The red/white top comes with options for a red or white collar. Either will work. Optionally you can use a blue top with stars, which Coraline also wears.

The key pieces for the costume are the yellow raincoat, blue wig, and chauffeur hat. Paired together with blue jeans, a striped top, and yellow rain boots.

Coraline Costume Ideas

I updated her photo from this cell pic. But, she’s too busy with tests for a full photoshoot. I caught her fooling around, sharing her costume with friends after getting her blue wig in the mail. It came super quick, and is the perfect blue! I’ll update these photos later.

I know she’s going to be mad at me for sharing this. Oh, well. That isn’t the shirt she’s wearing under the jacket. She has a striped tee, but if it’s cold out she might opt for the striped sweater.

I’m sharing a few more photos on my Instagram like this one. Hop over to follow me. I share more behind the scene and nature stuff. This is a great teen Halloween costume!

We picked items that she can wear again or had, paired with what we bought. The items that we picked out, and received are affordable and are great quality. We hope that it helps you if you are looking for last-minute Halloween costume ideas. And the Coraline costume can be put together for Cosplay too.

For Coraline Cosplay use the makeup tutorials later in the post, this will help give you the perfect Coraline look.

Coraline Outfit

If you live somewhere sunny you might prefer wearing yellow socks, with these yellow sandals. This is what she is doing. They are items you can use more often after Halloween. Plus, she had to dance in her costume, and thought rubber boots wouldn’t work for dancing. Complete the Coraline outfit with a Coraline necklace and butterfly hairclip.

You can find all the items for younger kids too, we sourced a few of the items for kids Coraline Costumes, to save you a bit of time. Kids will love this Coraline necklace and black cat.

Another easy Coraline Costume idea is this Coraline Costume Witch set (cape with Coraline on it, and witch hat).

Coraline Makeup

We spotted this cute Coraline makeup idea (below), and others which is how we got the idea for her Coraline makeup.

How to Apply Coraline Makeup

- 1. Use and apply your foundation or a lighter foundation to your skin
  2. Add, a Pressed powder for your base makeup (white pressed powder for all skin tones)
  3. Next, add blush (coral sheen stick) or (coral powder blush)
  4. Apply coral eye shadow and highlight just under your brows with white or a lighter color and blend (Eye Shadow Palette)
  5. Then use an eye pencil to add in the freckles
  6. Set your makeup with a makeup finishing spray
  7. Finish with a Light coral-pink lipstick for your lips (or coral lipstick)
  8. For a more dramatic look apply mascara and eyeliner

We also sourced a few great makeup tutorials if you need help applying makeup to complete your Coraline costume.

Coraline Halloween Makeup Video Tutorials

- - video Coraline Makeup Tutorial that takes you through how to apply your makeup for the Coraline Costume. It’s a caricature of the Coraline character vs. how we applied the makeup
  - This video Coraline Makeup Tutorial is a bit scarier and shows how to do the makeup with a button eye.
  - This Coraline Makeup Tutorial also has a Coraline Hair Clip DIY. (But, we think it’s cheaper and easier just to buy a butterfly hair clip)
