cardboard box 14"x15"x19"
something similar to mosquito netting
bike lights that have cool blinking patterns (got mine at Canadian Tire 8.99 each)

metallic gold spray paint
duct tape
ears of some sort
bike helmet that fits good
twine or thick-ish string
scissors and an exacto knife.
cool music to practice your SDM's

Its good to find a box that is slightly narrower than your shoulder width. I went to UPS store and bought a box too big, as you can see in the photo... I took a close look at the LMFAO video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyx6JDQCslE), and realized that the box's face side is not as long as the side parts and of course the height is taller than the width. At first I was looking for a square box, but after many hours of searching for the most perfect box, I found one in my partner-in-crime's basement recycling bin. It was a paper towel box from Shopper's Drug Mart. Free!

1. Take the recessed eyes (chicken pot pie tins) and draw a hole that is just smaller than it. Two of them please.
2. Draw a mouth.
3. cut eyes and mouth.
4. Cut a hole for your head to fit into it.
5. Maybe paint the box first, I didn't, but you might. I just masked the screening covering the mouth with some paper.
6. glue or tape the eyes into sockets.
7. cut netting (I used 3 layers to darken more, just enough to still see well in dark, halloween-ish environs), and tape to inside of mouth opening

The Eyes:
Bike lights work best. I cut a slit into the tin cup and inserted the bike light's mounting clip into it and taped the backside.
