Halloween: Cardboard Box Costumes

This year, I'm attempting to make my first cardboard box costume for Halloween. Apparently at Disney, people take Halloween pretty seriously and there's a major costume contest. I am coming to compete! (I will post a step-by-step of my costume once it's finished, so get pumped.)


Anyway, in my quest to figure out how I'm going to take my relatively ambitious idea and turn it into Halloween fashion glory, I've compiled a rundown around the internet of great sources for anyone hoping to take a cardboard box and make it into something fantastic (that's also fantastically cheap).


If you're curious - here's a few places to look:

• Big Boxes can make clever costumes (Montgomery Advertiser) - Complete with tips and instructions on how to be Spongebob, the Tin Man, and an iPod
• About.com Family Craft's Showcase of Box Costumes - Great place to draw inspiration with nearly 20 examples and photos of creative cardboard box costumes
• Family Corner's Rundown - Another fabulous list of ideas, including supplies and instructions
• College Squeeze - A more adult look at easy costume making (including another iPod look)/Warning: one photo - Franzia Wine Box costume - Not Safe for Work)
  

Now, back to my task at hand. Expect a post late next week with my Halloween Costume step-by-step sweetness.
