Pixar is becoming an annual Halloween theme in our household. Each year, I try to come up with a costume idea that stems from one of their movies. Wall-E was last year’s theme, and this year was the Academy Award nominee, Up. The Homemade House from Up Halloween Costume is inexpensive and fairly easy to make.
To make the house, I cut and hot glued multiple cardboard boxes into the basic shape of a Victorian house. Leaving the bottom open (for ease of putting on), I cut a hole in the roof for a head and two arm holes in each side. Next, I cut strips of Fun Foam (Hobby Lobby has these for about $.79 per sheet in all different colors) and glued them-slightly overlapping the edges- to look like siding. The windows and door are cut pieces of foam laid over the top to give the illusion. The roof is a bit more difficult only because the strips are notched to look like individual shingles. Finally, I added some balloons of different colors to finish the representation.
The best thing about this costume is that you can be as detailed as you like, and it just adds to the affect.
