Reusing cardboard boxes is a perfect way to have an environmentally-friendly Halloween costume that is also inexpensive and easy to make. Try these 5 ideas for homemade cardboard box costumes for kids or adults this year.

Chest of Drawers Halloween Costume

Becoming a piece of furniture this Halloween is easy with a large, empty cardboard box. Paint the box brown, with black lines to delineate where the drawers are. Add handles bought from the hardware store (easy to find for under $1 each). Remove the backing a glass from a large picture frame, and superglue frame over the head hole cut in the top of the box. It will look like the costume-wearer's head is simply a picture atop the dresser.

Rubik's Cube Halloween Costume

A Rubik's cube costume is a perfect way to use a large box with sides of roughly equal dimensions. With a pencil, divide each side of the box into 9 squares. Paint each a different color (traditional Rubik's cubes colors are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and white.) When the box has dried, paint black lines to separate the squares from each other.
