A Lego Man Costume

This lego man costume post contains affiliate links.

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.
