The box is a standard storage box you can buy from most stores. I used a dremal to make some holes and sawed a big hole out of the box. As you can see from the box in the picture I didn't do a great job but it seemed to work. The box Like a lot of what I do, I go on pure luck and basic skills. (If that makes sense) I had the basis of a torso I had an ingenious idea, I wrapped sticky tape sticky side up around the head until the whole thing was sticky, I then began folding plastic bags into shapes and sticking them to the head and once I had a good shape I stuck it down the right way.

It fit but his face was leaning in wards as if he had been through ten rounds in the ring with Mike Tyson. I then raided my cupboards for as many carrier bags as possible, I stuck carrier bags all around the head and tried the mask that I had from a previous costume on the head. If you look in the picture you will see some wooden sticks, they are basically kebab squers pushed into the polystyrene at different depths. I was wrong, Getting a nice shape to fill the mask was hard. (A bit like an air plane wing) Head - I thought the head was going to be easy, Chuck a balloon on there throw on a mask done. To make the shoulders I just cut some thick cardboard off of a box and shaped it as realistic as possible. Shoulders - The shoulders are important in this build and as you will see in the nest step the clothes that you put on the torso help with the illusion. I had some old polystyrene from new LCD monitors I bout for my pc, I basically just duct taped them together to give them strength. A majority of the torso was made from polystyrene which is a lot stronger than you would think when think. Torso - So as you can see from the picture the basic torso I had made was not too heavy. Create something not too heavy (It ended up being rather light).Clothe my torso to give the illusion that he is carrying me.Get a big enough box for me to fit into (I am a big guy).Make a torso out of junk I had lying around the house.Like I said I do not have an in depth step by step so I will try and explain what I did here. Ok like most of my Instructables I am far too forgetful (Lazy) to take enough pictures to do a step by step build, but I will do my best to explain how I made this beauty. I think I will go with: man in a box illusion? Rubbish I know. This year I did my best to beat it! With you being the judge of course.

So I set out to make another outfit, last year I created one of my favourite Halloween costumes living Facebook profile, it was a huge hit.
Diy boxer costume men plus#
Every year I try and make something for Halloween, don’t get me wrong I do love the costumes in the shop but man are they pricey, plus I also love a good bit of do it yourself (DIY). I have also added a few pictures of my party including my Flaming Graveyard Bar that I created.

This year I had a Halloween party and I thought I would keep up with tradition and make my own costume. I know what you're thinking, he must have spinal injuries after wearing that.
