Homemade Popcorn Box Halloween Costume
"This is Charlotte, age 5, wearing a popcorn box! Charlotte's favorite snack is popcorn, so this year her Homemade Popcorn Box Halloween Costume was an easy choice!
To make the box, my husband took two cardboard display easels and taped them together from the inside. He then cut out the armholes and neck hole. We first spray painted the entire box red. My husband then created the "fresh popcorn" logo on our computer, printed it off and then cut out each word by hand. He then taped off the stripes and cut out the logo pattern and taped it on. We then repainted the box white.
The 'popcorn' was made from Great Stuff (bought at any Home Improvement store). The hat is a popcorn bucket spray painted red with Great Stuff 'popcorn!" She wore a white sweatshirt, and a red turtleneck, white tights and red boots!
Everyone who saw her said it was the neatest costume they had seen!
