DIY Robot Boy Costume for a Child

I crafted this costume out of dryer vent hosing, dixie cups, cardboard, hot glue, and silver paint. I put hinges at the elbow and knee joints. The rubber light bulb was from a computer convention for people to squeeze to avoid carpel tunnel.

It was very uncomfortable for him to wear. Eventually, he pealed the layers off and it became a statue that we rolled around from house to house in his red wagon. I like the fact that he can only see through the mouth hole. Oh well, I tried.
