Step 10Sofa-to-Sofa Advice and Suggestions
I learned a lot from being a sofa on Halloween.
Nobody respects their sofa anymore.
Ah well.
Advice:
- Running the in the Sofa-Suit is NOT advised.
Yeah sure, "But Edwin, it looks so secure with its cardboard and hotglue + tape!" Unfortunately enough, running in this very difficult to maneuver costume results in painful blisters in the feet and awkward leg positions. Not to mention trips + falls.
- Be Careful when sitting down on your box.
Your box can easily be taken away, and sitting down too quickly will usually result in an epic FAIL. You may miss the box completely, or just really hurt your legs.
- Transportation:
Transportation of the Sofa-Suit is somewhat difficult, so you might prefer to do some short range trick-or treating in it.
- Wearing the Sofa-Suit and running/walking around for two hours on a dark Halloween night is NOT good.
Seriously. Not only does it hurt, but half the time people are already outside of their doors before you can assemble into sofa mode.
However, the times when people think you SERIOUSLY dragged a sofa up to their house is worth it.
Suggestions:
We actually ran out of cloth, so we couldn't cover every single part of the sofa suit-- just the main visible areas.
However, you may choose to have a sort of skirt that runs down around you when you sit, concealing the box you sit on.
You will also want to cover the back of the legs with cloth, as well as the part in-between the left and right legs.
