Without a doubt, the hottest costumes this Halloween will be ones that pay tribute to this year's movies. The Halloween-centic Hotel Translyvania 2, Inside Out and, of course, Star Wars: The Force Awakens will be popular choices.

While you could go the easy route and run to your local Halloween store for a mass-produced, off-the-rack costume, why would you? Making the costume yourself not only results in a more original outfit, it also is such a fulfilling and creative endeavor, especially when you get the kids to help!

Check out these nine totally awesome DIY costumes from these innovative and inspired bloggers. 

Shaun the Sheep from Everywhere Orange

Not only is this Shaun the Sheep adorable, but it looks so comfy too! Kris from Everywhere Orange created this costume using a basic black shirt and pants and sewing a simple fleece overlay and crafting a sweet hat to top off the outfit. You can make your own by visiting her site here.

BB-8 from Star Wars: The Force Awakens from DesertChica.com

Star Wars: The Force Awakens isn’t even out yet, but BB-8 fever has already begun. This new droid is an adorable choice for Halloween. Desert Chica made this costume using a large paper lantern and a plastic colander from the 99-cent store! You can get instructions here.

Hotel Transylvania 2 by photographer Estevan Alfaro

Photographer Estevan Alfaro created this epic Hotel Transylvania set which they carefully pieced together. “Aside from the wigs that we ordered online, the costumes are entirely handmade,” Alfaro told us. “We had the most fun creating Drac's head, which was molded from paper mache then painted."

Fear from Inside Out by Desert Chica

Ah, Fear, such an appropriate costume for Halloween, and so cute, too! The Desert Chica created this stylish (and easy) Fear outfit using basic pieces of clothing, felt and hounds tooth duct tape. Check out her instructions here.

Bing Bong of Inside Out from OC Mom Blog

Cinema’s most memorable imaginary friend comes back to life this Halloween with this DIY Bing Bong from Inside Out costume. While you can find Joy and Disgust outfits online, premade Bing Bong costumes are much more rare. OC Mom Blog couldn’t find one either, so she made her own using a monster outfit she found on sale, a toddler jacket, felt and she topped it off with a dog-sized cowboy hat. Instructions can be found here.

 Thor from the Avengers by Scrap Shoppe Blog

Captain America from The Avengers by Scrap Shoppe Blog.

Charlie Brown and Lucy from Peanuts

The popular style blogger Miriam Gin of Simplyxclassic created this awesome (and easy) DIY Peanuts costume a while ago. While she doesn’t have instructions online, she told us “costumes don't have to be expensive. Everything was pretty much DIY or we owned it.” For her outfit she used a blue dress and a cardboard box and Charlie Brown was created with a simple paper mache head and black details on a yellow shirt.
