First select an old bicycle, snowboarding, or hardhat helmet that you never plan on using again. Over the last month I've found myself staring at piles of trash while driving, hoping to find something I can use for my costume. I used old Hockey Gloves but any cheap canvas ones will work. 2 plastic report sheet covers (for the windshields) Most companies throw out scrap or just go to your local markets and ask them to save you some before tossing. Lots and lots of cardboard, or foam board. Velcro (Found at Major stores like Target, Kmart etc.) Hard HAt (about $6.00 at any Hardware Store) $.99 cents store Mini Flashlights (4 of them) Spray Paints (Primer, Red, Blue, white and Mettalic) Hot Glue Gun (and sticks - the bigger the bag the better)

I unshackled the little geek in me and let him run buck wild 'til his heart's delight.Īll together I spent about $40 - $50 bucks, finding most materials from what I had in my garage or around the home.

Once I had the idea I shared it with my family and thus began the endless nights, thousands of Glue gun burns and my invasion occupation of my living room. this lead to my childhood amore for Transformers which eventually became my Magnus Opus or Optimus Prime to be exact. When first beginning my search for the most AWESOME Halloween costume ever created, I first wanted to pick something I've always loved.
