Step 8Make arm holes and handles
Using a ruler and pencil we marked the center of each side of the box. Using a pint glass as a template we centered two circles about six or eight inches apart with the top circle about two inches from the top of the box and connected the circles with straight lines. As this did not look like it would provide a large enough hole for the arms we widened the template by about an inch on each side and freehanded the curves to connect the two lines. We then cut out the arm hole with box cutters.
Since we knew that the costume wearer would not always want the weight of the costume on his shoulders we decided to put handle holes on the side so the costume could be lifted and controlled when in motion.
To make the handle hole we measured six inches down from the bottom of the arm hole and centered a one inch tall rectangle that was as wide as the arm hole. We then cut it out with the box cutters.
