robot-costume_halloweenCelebrate Halloween with a stunning robot costume! With a little bit of imagination and a few basic items, you can make your own costume. Your kids will love it!

1- Pick a box large enough to fit your child’s torso once in the vertical position.

2- Remove both flaps at the bottom of the box. The two top flaps will act as shoulder protectors for the robot.

3- Cut a hole in the upper part of the box and remove the excess cardboard. This will allow your child to get his/her head through. Similarly, cut a circle on each side of the box for the arms.

4- Cover the box with aluminum foil and stick sections of the Alu-Rex Elements Maximum Sturdiness gutter guard in front of the costume.

5- The legs and arms are made with the Alu-Rex Elements Flexible Extensions. The costume requires 2 extensions, one for the legs and the other for the arms.

  • For the arms, simply remove the connector and cut the extension at equal length.
  • For the legs, once the connector has been removed, stretch the extension at maximum length. Cut it in two so that both sections are equal as well as on the whole length in order to allow for greater freedom of movement.

6- For the hat, use an inverted aluminum round-bottomed mixing bowl.

If you want to take it a bit further, put silver make-up on your child’s face. He/she will be the star of the night!
