6 crafty Halloween costumes you can make with a cardboard box
by Laura Falin posted in Life & Home
When the kids and I start talking Halloween costumes each year, I remind them of two things.
1.) I like to think of myself as crafty, but I don't actually have a lot of crafty skills like sewing, or woodworking, or painting well. I'm a good faker. I like to look at things other people have done and try to figure out how to do it more easily. A costume hacker" I think I'm a costume hacker.
2.) I'm cheap. I'm a cheapskate. I don't want to pay a lot for Halloween costumes.
So cardboard box costumes are my jam, y'all.
I actually had to make that Steve box head twice because we loaded it into the back of the car after the school Halloween parade, and it promptly fell out, unnoticed and never to be seen again. And my poor boy was so distraught that I made another one.
That is my instagram shot from last year and I will not tell you how much wine was left by the end (#Halloweenessentials #dontjudgeme). But the point is -- it was simple enough to make that I did two.
Here are a few more excellent ideas for simple, inexpensive Halloween costumes that use cardboard boxes.
