Make DIY Halloween Costumes with Your Moving Boxes!



via flickrIf you've recently moved, you may not have the time or budget to get top-notch Halloween costumes for yourself or your kids. Well, if you're not looking to break the bank, you can use items you already have to create a DIY Halloween costume! Using moving boxes and a few other supplies, you can build an unforgettable DIY costume that will take your new neighbourhood by storm.

This isn't a new idea by any stretch of the imagination, but if you are willing to put in a little extra effort--and perhaps a little bit of money--you can bring your DIY moving box costume to the next level. In a recent story from NBC 12 in Virginia, Two Men and A Truck crew members went above and beyond to create memorable Halloween costumes with moving boxes. Using just one moving box and $5 for other aspects of the costume, they were able to create a LEGO outfit for a child.

To achieve this, they cut the top flaps off the box and tucked in the bottom ones. Then they glued red poster board to the sides of the box and attached plastic food storage containers to the side to complete the LEGO brick look. For good measure, they printed out the LEGO logo and glued it to the side of the box.

Another idea the Two Men and A Truck crew was able to achieve with moving boxes was a John Deere tractor. This time, they used two moving boxes and connected them with super glue. Similar to the LEGO costume, they attached colored poster board (this time, green), as well as the company logo to the side. They even went the extra mile and stuck two little lights to the front of the tractor. Many of these supplies can be purchased for next to nothing at a dollar store or hardware store.

Here are some other ideas for DIY Halloween costumes you can make with your leftover moving boxes:
  • Stoplight
  • Minecraft character
  • Dice (group costume)
  • Robot
  • iPod/iPhone
  • Vending machine
  • Crayon box
  • Rubik's Cube
  • Tetris pieces (group costume)
  • WALL-E
  • Box of chocolates (you never know what you're gonna get)
  • Jack-in-the-box
  • Cereal
