Chevy Motor Costume

Wearing our Motor costume is our 6 year old son Bryson Dale.
Finding a costume for him isn't easy because he has never been into cartoons or super heroes like your average child! And thats all that seems to be available in any store you shop. There is nothing he enjoys more than anything with a motor and wheels! So his Dad made the decision to make him a motor and with my crafty skills he soon became one. We googled images for inspiration and came up short so we made our own plan and went with it. First we started with a cardboard box we had lying around (What ever size fits your child best). You can see in the picture the cuts we made to make it take shape (Very Simple!) We left a small opening in the top for his head and painted with cheap spray paint. The fan was made from poster board and a 2 liter Coke lid. The pipes we made from PVC pipe we melted them with a blow torch and bent them to shape. We then painted them with spray paint and rapped the ends with black electrical tape. We then cut tight holes and stuck them in. Some of his other pieces/parts (I don't know their name😂) were made from old cut up containers and 2 liter bottles and spray painted. Lastly his hat was made from poster board we cut and shaped and painted with a piece of elastic we hot glued on for the chin strap. Everything else used such as plugs and other things were just things his dad had lying around the garage. There isn't any real instructions to this costume because everyone can put there own spin on it using different supplies. The possibilities are endless. Plus we had a blast just making it from scratch with no direction. Everyone loved the costume, but he still didn't win our local Costume Contest so I know winning this would mean so much to him!
