Make your own Crayon Halloween Costume

A couple of years ago was my first foray into the whole DIY Haloween costume realm. I saw that great DIY post a few years ago about how to make a working Operation costume that gave me enough courage to actually try it. It wound up being the big hit of the costume party I went to, so I decided I was going to try and make my own costume. A trip to the Home Depot a few days before Haloween this year provided enough inspiration for a new costume: a Crayon. I tried to take enough pics during the construction process to try and give you all a good guide on creating your own.

Step 1 The Materials

Here's what you'll need to make your own Crayon Costume:
- Scissors and/or Box cutters
- Pencil
- Ruler
- Compact Disc (not pictured)
- Large diameter cardboard tube (I used a 16" form tube)
- Wrapping paper 
- Tape (duct or masking)
- electrical tape
- Plastic/rubber cone (not pictured)
- Extra cardboard box (not pictured)
- Paper letters
- Glue stick

Choose your colors using the following guide:
- Duct/masking Tape - this will be the color of the "wax" portion of your crayon costume
- Wrapping paper - this will be the color of the crayon "wrapper"
- Electical tape - this will be used to add an extra stripe detail to the costume
