Human Stapler Costume

Our son loves to pretend he is a school teacher, so he is always asking for things that his teachers have – markers, hole punchers, erasers – but his favorite gadget is the stapler. When we asked what he wanted to be for Halloween, that was his first response! We found two long cardboard boxes, cut them up and fastened them together with nuts and bolts. We spray painted it red and covered the underneath section with aluminum foil. For the finishing touch, we painted the brand name on the side to make it authentic! The costume can be almost completely made with household items. We didn't have any boxes on hand, so we got them from the container store for a few dollars each. This is a costume we will remember for a long time!
