Facebook Profile

This article has a step-by-step guide to creating your Facebook profile as a costume. Basically, you will need to:
  • Gather some basic materials from your hardware store
  • Build the frame and attach some handles to carry it
  • Allow for the display hole - this where your face will be the profile picture
  • Print and glue your Facebook page layout to go on the front

Beer Carton Spartan

Stockpile empty beer cartons (or get some from your local liquor store) and put them to good use as Beer Carton Spartan. Depending on how tidy or crude you want the costume to look, there are templates online to help you. The helmet is probably the hardest part to DIY, so if you want to skip that part, consider purchasing gladiator headgear and focus on nailing your beer box armoury.

You want a pizza me?

Got storage boxes in your cupboard? If not head to an art supplies store and buy some. Grab some coloured paper, glue, acrylic paint and some string or ribbon (to tie the costume on).
  • Cut two triangle shapes out of cardboard (one for back and front)
  • Paint brown for the crust, red sauce, and yellow cheese
  • Cut out toppings of your choice with coloured paper and attach with a strong glue
  • Pop some holes to thread the string through so the slices can hang over you.

  • black eyeliner
