My daughter and I made this out of duct tape, cardboard, and wire hangers. The mask is an old Freddy Kruger mask we had lying around, and the jumpsuit I bought at a thrift store for $5. She fits through a hole in the box, and her legs are in the pant legs of the jumpsuit.I cut down the front of each leg, and attached Velcro to reclose them around her legs to make it easer to put on. I cut and shaped hangers in an arch shape and seperated them with strips of cardboard held together with ducttape. I attached them to the box like shoulder straps. The jumpsuit fits over these to make the shoulders. The rubber mask has a balloon inside to hold it up. At first I tried to stuff the whole thing with paper and bubble wrap, but it was too heavy. The whole thing is held together with 2 rolls of ducttape, but it is all very well hidden inside the costume. She didn't need to carry anything to put candy in, they just threw it in the box! She was the center of attention all night. People were taking pictures of her, and wanting there pictures made with her. She said she felt like she was famous for a few hours. Including the duct tape, the whole thing was about $15, and took 4 days to complete.
