Person Being Carried Costume

This is a simple costume with an awesome effect. The total cost of the costume to me was free because I already had everything I needed.

But, in case you want to try this, here is a materials list:

You
The clothes that you are wearing
Extra pants, shoes and hoodie
A jacket
A mannequin head (I got one of the Styrofoam display heads from a Halloween shop)
A belt
A backpack
Beer cans
Duct tape
Sheets/stuffing
Shoelaces

The tools that I used were a drill and drill bits.

Step 1: Step 1: Positioning The Mennequin Head

For this step I used an ordinary backpack and stuffed it with a pillow. I took advantage of the way the zippers came together at the top and place the mannequin head right in the pocket that it creates. I then took some shoelace and tied the zippers together so that they would not come apart. This held the mannequin head very nicely.

Great costume. I did one up for last weekend's festivities in Osaka and it was a hit.

One thing, maybe I used shoes that were a bit heavy but one leg fell off and I had to get some safety pins for "emergency surgery."

Anyway, the costume was a blast and I'm going to try to make a mini version for my seven-year-old tonight.
