Cool Mister Potato Head Costume

Homemade Mister Potato Head Costume

I first started this Mister Potato Head costume making a wire mold with 2×4 wire fencing. I then sprayed expanding foam (like to insulate around doors and windows) all over the wire. After many coats, I then carved with a saw and sanded until I reached the correct shape. I also put in a trap door in the back to store all the extra parts (like the original).

All the parts were removable and interchangeable. For this I used 2 different size PVC pipes. for the parts I used the same idea with the wire and expanding foam and inserted the PVC into the wet Foam. It took a long time to carve and sand the foam just right, but it was worth it.

Let me know what you think and if you have any questions on how to create your Mr. Potato Head costume.

  2. I’ve always wondered about using wire for costumes. How do you shape and hold it in shape? Is it like chicken-wire? How else can you shape it? I saw someone use wire in a float which was the shape of a sneaker.

    Also, the insulation looks like puffy foam I am guessing, and then you sand it down. You need an electric sander? I am guessing it is fairly soft?

    I’d love to know because I am an extreme costumer too. Thank you.

  6. GREAT costume!! I love Mr. PotatoHead!! I definitely want to make this too but like the others, would you be able to send me or even post the directions completely. What happens if you don’t have access to sprayable foam? Is their something else you can recommend that can be used instead? Thanks :-)
