Halloween is about two things: The candy and outshining everyone else with your costume.

This year, don't just buy a costume from Party City or Walmart, but go the extra mile and create your own DIY ensemble.

For inspiration, Pinterest sent us the most popular trending Pins for DIY Halloween costumes this year, from '90s classic shows like "Rugrats" to Taylor Swift's squad from her music video for "Bad Blood."

Best of all, you can wear all of these with your friends.

You and your crew can be a platoon of toy army men. It only takes some semi-gloss latex paint, PVC pipe, spray paint, and clothes you don't mind turning green.
