Robot Costume

L wore this costume for a St Patrick’s Day parade. We had great fun making it!

It is made using two cardboxes. I cut arm holes and a neck hole in the bigger box and eye holes in the smaller box. I covered the boxes in tinfoil but, alternatively, you could paint the robot silver.

I then decorated the front of the robot to give it ‘buttons’ and controls. I used an old CD and printed out some images to use as well. Finally, to cover his arms I used some tubing from our tumble drier that I didn’t need any more.
