Rubik’s Cube Halloween Costume

For making a Rubik’s cube costume, you will need a square shaped box. Turn the box upside down and create holes on them  to fit your  head and hands. Get six colored papers and cut them into nine small matching squares. Make sure that the colored paper fits the box perfectly. You can either stick the squares to make a solved Rubik’s cube or a scrambled one.

Gaming Dice Halloween Costume

Gaming dice would be the easiest of all cardboard costumes to make. You just need a square box, white paper and a black  marker pen. As with the Rubik’s cube, create holes for head and hands.

Television Halloween Costume

You can create a television costume out of a cardboard box. Make holes for your hands and head. Paint the sides of the box with black or silver color paint. Or, you can stick black paper all over the box using glue. Do a Google search for  an exciting picture of your favorite television show or the logo of your favorite channel.  Take a print out of the  chosen image and stick it on the front side of the cardboard box.

Gift Box Halloween Costume

Get the box upside down and cut out holes for your neck and arms. Using a bright colored wrapping paper, wrap up the box and make openings around the holes. Get a long and broad satin ribbon or a red colored tape and glue it around the box. If you want, you can attach a matching bow to it.  Attach a personalized hand written note on top of the gift box to give it a more appealing look.
