For as long as you can remember, a classic witch costume has been your go-to for a last-minute Halloween outfit. Well, you know what they say: if it ain't broke don't fix it. And seriously, witches reign supreme on All Hallow's Eve for a reason. They are the stars of the best scary movies and not to mention their spells and banter make for the most memorable quotes.

So, while a DIY witch costume may not be groundbreaking, it still offers you a cheap and quick way to enjoy the fun of dressing up on Halloween with an accessory as simple as a witch hat. And it's a Halloween costume that works for both kids and adults, which is pretty rare.

Plus, with so many enchanting characters to choose from, you can never get bored. There are your classic storybook witches that sport a black dress, nose wart (because amazing Halloween makeup always upgrades the look) and fly into the night on their broomstick. Then there are those that derive from timeless films, like Glinda the Good Witch and the Wicked Witch from The Wizard of Oz. Even modern witches like Wanda, The Scarlet Witch and Agatha Harkness have getups that are easy enough to recreate.

And witch costumes aren't just good for a solo outing. You can do a great group costume with friends because, what is a witch without her coven? You could also go the funny route and portray the hilarious trio that is Hocus Pocus ' Sanderson Sisters with your friends.

Regardless, if you choose funny, cute or really scary costume, you're sure to cast a spell on anyone who lays their eyes on you with these best DIY witch costumes.
