LEGO Halloween Costume(using Recycled Materials)

Do you love Legos? Do you want to be one? Well now you can be one. I made these for halloween last year and it was a BIG hit. People are still taking about it. All you need is a few things from around the house, finding a better way to use things that would be thrown out.

This is a relativity easy project.

Materials

A cardboard box (big enough for you to fit in)
Duct Tape
6 Paper bowls
String
Spray Paint
Razor Blade/Scissors

The Framework

The Box:
My box is 19" x 28" x 16"
Head hole=8.5" dia.
Arm holes=7.25" dia.

You may need to cut the box and tape it back together to make it fit you.

The Bowls:
Cut off the rim
Poke 2 holes in bowl
Add string and knot off the end

Add the Paint

Paint the Box and the bowls seperate. When you paint the bowls and the string aswell. This may take several coats of paint.

Do the painting outside!

Add the Bowls

Once the paint is dry you can add the bowls. Poke a the scissors or a pen through the box. This is where the bowls will be attached to the box. Make 2 holes for each bowl. Once the string is through the box tie the 2 pieces together and tape them down. Repeat 5 more times.

Trick or Treat

Now your ready to go out and dazzle the on lookers.

Reminder: wear a shirt that matches the color or your lego brick

Suggestion

If you want to, you could add bowls on the back of the brick(facing inward) so 2 bricks could connect together.
