Cool Homemade Robot Boy Costume

When my son told me he wanted to be a robot for Halloween, I knew only a homemade costume would do. It was so much fun to make and most of the supplies I already had at home. This Homemade Robot Boy Costume was the hit of his school and all over town!

I used 2 cardboard boxes for the head and body. The arms and legs are dryer ducts. I printed out gauges and the control panel online then colored them with markers and paint. On the back of the costume I glued the inside parts of a toy laptop. The eyes and red light on the body are LED push lights that I covered with colored clear plastic.

I bought the voice changer at the Halloween store for $10.00. The ears are cardboard tubes with plastic caps that my husband found at his work, and the antenna is made of a paintbrush handle and a drawer pull knob thing. I painted the costume with chrome spray paint. The feet are 2 boxes that fit perfectly over his shoes.

It took me probably 10-12 hours to make, but seeing my son as excited as he was made it all worth it.

  1. Tell you son thank you! The whole thing actually slipped on over his head. So it just lifts right off. The legs were attached to some old pajama bottoms with duct tape.
