Luke loves Lego and loved the idea of a lego man costume for Halloween. I was sure I could whip up a lego minifigure costume for very little money using dollar store items and things I had around the house. Let me show you how easy this ten dollar costume was!
I found a bowl at the dollar store, spray painted it yellow, then cut yellow poster board to size, cut the face out with a craft knife, and taped and glued {on the inside} the poster board around the edge of the upside down bowl. Dishes make great templates for cutting the curves and circles for the eyes and mouth.
I cut yellow dish gloves off at the wrist and Luke wore those with a long sleeve red shirt.
The body of the costume was made from a cardboard box {found for less than a dollar at Home Depot}. I cut and added a few pieces to get the shape I wanted and then covered it all with pieces of red duct tape.
Lego-loving Luke thought his lego man minifigure costume was awesome and so did others … he won first place in his age category at our neighborhood fall festival.

That is awesome! I am definitely using this for Victor this year. Both Tate and Luke deserved a prize.
Too cute! My friend’s son will love this!
