We only had one box at home that I could really fit into to wear. I wasn't happy with the shape of the box, but I went to Wal-mart and Dollar Tree and neither had any boxes for me. So I went with one we had that was a little too square. I cut holes first for my head (and man, my head is bigger than I thought) and for my arms. Then I had to paint a few coats of yellow and orange to add depth. After that, I sprayed white for the shirt and eyes, and then brownish-gray for the pants. I definitely used a picture to refer to when I drew the face on. To finish it off, I added black lines with puffy paint. Score! A sweet costume!
At lunch time, I walked around and got some stares, though most people just thought that it was neat that I would actually go all out. (Today, I actually heard that a kid saw me and wanted to get a picture with me but he was too scared to ask- that's pretty hilarious!)
I kinda feel like a kid again in grandma's craft room when I make a costume like this. :)
