Lego Halloween Costume

Two years ago, CRAFT: did a fun round-up of quick and easy Halloween costumes to make for kids, and Diana Eng made a fantastic Lego costume out of a cardboard box!

You could easily adapt this to an adult size, or make a whole flock of them in different colors for you and your friends — and how cute would a toddler be Lego-ized?

For more Halloween costume ideas for kids, check out CRAFT:’s other tutorials for pirate, bee, sushi, and monkey costumes. I made the monkey one with my nephew in mind, and it’s one of my favorite projects ever!

Rubik’s Cube Costume

rubiks-costume

Cardboard + duct tape + colorful paint= perhaps the coolest geeky costume ever. Designerd posted this baby at instructables, and it’s just amazing. The added detail of making each square on this Rubik’s Cube Costume appear “twistable” makes this a cardboard box costume that takes a little more than some spray paint and accrodian tubes for arms, but would be so worth the trouble.

Fleur Delacour Costume

Prendolyn the Weird blogs all Harry Potter crafts, all the time at Wilcox Wizard Wear. Click through to read five posts detailing how she made this wonderful Fleur Delacour costume to wear to see Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. She did everything from sewing the dress and capelet to painting a pair of shoes to making the wool hat. (Is there a verb for hat making? Besides hat making?) I am in awe and plan on spending some quality time reading her entire blog.
