Jacob and his fire alarm
Costume type: | Costumes for Boys |
Category: |
This homemade costume for boys entered our 2022 Halloween Costume Contest.
A word from Valerie, the 'Fire Alarm' costume creator:
My son, Jacob, has autism and is obsessed with fire alarms. Every time we go into a restaurant or store, he points out every fire alarm and fire door in the place. He even had a fire alarm cake for his birthday. When he asked for a fire alarm costume for Halloween, I knew I had to get creative. I took a cardboard box and reinforced the entire box with red duct tape. Then, I downloaded a picture of a fire alarm from the internet and had it made into an adhesive poster. I put the poster on the front of the costume and cut out the pull lever. I reinforced the lever with some light resin wood and then placed a pull-activated panic alarm on the inside. I hooked it up so that, when the lever is pulled, the light and sound activates. I thought the fire hat with the light and siren on top was also a great addition. We went to our local Harvest Festival yesterday and everyone wanted to pull the fire alarm. He even won first place in the costume contest. I really enjoyed making this costume, but my favorite part was seeing the look of pride and pure joy on my sweet boy's face when he wore it. Thank you for your consideration.
