Awesome Homemade Costume

My daughter and I made this out of duct tape, cardboard, and wire hangers. The mask is an old Freddy Kruger mask we had lying around, and the jumpsuit I bought at a thrift store for $5. She fits through a hole in the box, and her legs are in the pant legs of the jumpsuit.I cut down the front of each leg, and attached Velcro to reclose them around her legs to make it easer to put on. I cut and shaped hangers in an arch shape and seperated them with strips of cardboard held together with ducttape. I attached them to the box like shoulder straps. The jumpsuit fits over these to make the shoulders. The rubber mask has a balloon inside to hold it up. At first I tried to stuff the whole thing with paper and bubble wrap, but it was too heavy. The whole thing is held together with 2 rolls of ducttape, but it is all very well hidden inside the costume. She didn't need to carry anything to put candy in, they just threw it in the box! She was the center of attention all night. People were taking pictures of her, and wanting there pictures made with her. She said she felt like she was famous for a few hours. Including the duct tape, the whole thing was about $15, and took 4 days to complete.

This is cool, think i'm going to try this for a party tomorrow. How long did it take to make it?

[Stevanhale]

@JolleBerlikum About three days in my spare time. It would probably only take a few hours actual build time. Its pretty simple, the video description explains more detail. Also see the other video, you get to see how it comes off.

what happens if you stomp on the bad guys feet?

[Stevanhale]

@wallymeldrum You will be stomping her feet...if she lets you.

Would have been more awesome if the box was a shopping cart and u were dressed as a kid ;)

[Stevanhale]

@AhhSeanTea I'm not sure how that would work. A child sits in a cart facing the pusher, so you would have to walk backwards but I encourage you to try. A little challenge never hurt anybody. She is dressed as a kid... because she is a kid.

@TashaKarelina Оно смогло быть как шеф-повар нося варя бак с ей в ем. То посмотрело бы большим!!

It could be like a chef carrying a cooking pot with her in it. That would look great!!

At first I was like "woah, won't carrying her around all night get really heavy? and isn't sitting in the box uncomfortable?" and when they showed her "legs" I thought "holy crap, her legs are short. wait, where are her feet?!" then I figured it out.:D
