Trick or treat, smell my feet, give me something to DIY! Halloween is here again. What are you going to dress up as? Well if you read my blog, you know I love cardboard<\/a>, so I’ve decided to round up all my favorite cardboard DIY Halloween costumes. DIY Halloween costumes are an easy way to both save green and be green. Upcycle something instead of buying a costume you’ll use once and throw away! I’ve used Pinterest<\/a> to find these super fun DIY Halloween costumes:<\/p>\n

Robots are classic DIY Halloween costumes. With the boxy nature of robots, you can just take a box and voila! How detailed your robot is is up to you. Here’s one cool example<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Your favorite sci-fi characters can also be made from cardboard. I love this Doctor Who TARDIS<\/a>, Star Wars AT-ST Walker<\/a>, and cardboard helmet<\/a>. Here are some fun technology costumes<\/a>, also!<\/p>\n
