About this deal

Safety first! Ensure the box doesn’t restrict your child’s movement, vision, or breathing. Obviously, the window should provide ample space for their face, ensuring they can see and breathe easily.

The row houses would be an AMAZING group costume! Can you imagine a whole row of them toddling down the streat?! 😀 Optimus Prime takes some planning and careful recycled cardboard collection, but it does make an epic Halloween costume! I like that this batch doesn’t require a lot of box reconstruction. It’s basically just leaving the box as is with the head and arm holes cut out, then painting. Ok except for the mailbox, which is hilarious and reminds me of Gru. Haha Lana added: “Everyone just does a double take and then laughs, smile and take photos. Cars beep and put thumbs up, but everyone smiles and tells me that I’ve really made their day. Yes, I understand that cardboard box costumes aren’t going to last more than one night either, but at least they required a little imagination and effort. You’ll be making memories to last a lifetime!

Inexpensive DIY Halloween Costumes

The box size we used is 22″ x 8″ x 40″ and it is actually a “wardrobe” box. It fits my 5 year old inside perfectly but also my 12 year old! So this is a great size that can accommodate younger and older children. We got it on Uline.

We recommend anyone in Northern Ireland, Isle of Wight, Shetlands, Scottish Highlands/off the coast of Scotland, Republic of Ireland, Isle of Man, and Channel Islands use Priority Delivery unless you require an urgent timed delivery through UPS courier which is at an additional cost. Please see below for postage prices. Of course, it would be ideal if you had the perfect size box and recycled that instead. The unfortunate thing about Uline is that it requires you to buy 5 of the boxes, but you can pool your resources and ask around if other friends want to be Barbie and split the cost! I happen to make lots of DIYs from cardboard so I am not worried about reusing the cardboard for many other projects. Dressing up: Dress your child in Barbie or Ken style clothes. Since this is based off Barbie the Movie, think California beach vibes: floral shirts, shorts, flip-flops, sunglasses, and perhaps a surfboard accessory to complete the look.

If you’d like to make the straps more comfortable you can cover the straps in a softer material or use non-elastic soft fabric that will hold your child’s weight. Barbie letters and shooting star. You can write find similar fonts and clip art to create your own using a tool like Canva. Box Prep: Take your cardboard box and tape or hot glue the top side shut. Using a pencil, outline the front cut out of the box. It should be a rectangle shape with a diagonal bottom. It should be wide enough to showcase your child inside. Up! Super cute idea and a great way to recycle an old cardboard box. This great Up! Costume is sure to be a huge hit. Placing the Child Inside: Help your child wear the box by first adding over their hand and gently down. Then add one arm in each strap, adjusting the straps as necessary. Their upper head and top body should be visible through the window, showcasing their fabulous Barbie/Ken outfit.
