My daughter decided that she wanted to do something really different this last year. We did some research, and she found an image of someone who appeared to be carrying herself in a box. She told me that this is what she wanted to do.
The directions on the site we found were not easy to follow at all. I had to figure most of it out myself. While this was more work for me, you get the benefit as I am going to share the step-by-step instructions right here for you (along with images) so that you can make this too!
It looks like it is a lot of work, but it is actually easier than it appears!
Other helpful Halloween ideas:
SUPPLIES
Box (large enough for you to fit into)
Pajama pants or jeans
Rubber bands
Poly Fiber Fill (one bag)
Old shoes
Styrofoam head
Black Spray paint
Wooden dowel rod (will need to slide into the bottom of the styrofoam head)
Saw
Old jacket or shirt
Gloves
Zombie mask (if no hair on the mask, you will need a wig or hat too)
Makeup
Backpack
DIRECTIONS
Step 1. To begin, you will want to cut out the bottom of the box. The hole should be just large enough so that it will slide up over your hips and rest there. Your feet and legs will be the legs of the zombie. Here is a view of the hole we cut in our box.
We used to take to ensure that none of the flaps moved and would stay out of the way of sliding the box up over my daughter’s hips.
Step 2. Using rubber bands (or string), tie the ends of the pajama pants or jeans closed. Then, stuff them with fiberfill until they look good. You will want to test them by bending them over the side of the box to make sure that they look right (not too fat or too thin).
Step 3. Attach the shoes to the bottom of the pants. We used the laces and tied them tightly to the pants. You could use pins or any other method you feel will work to attach them.
Step 4. Spray paint the styrofoam head and wooden dowel both black (this will make sure they are not as visible on the costume.
