This homemade costume for boys entered our 2013 Halloween Costume Contest.

A word from Steph, the 'Jet Pack Man' costume creator:

My 6yo son LOVES robots and rockets so naturally he wanted to be something in that genre for Halloween. A quick Google search led us to a Japanese TV show clip and the idea was born! The jet pack is made from cardboard tubes and LED lights and embellished with recycled do-dads from around the house. We made his flying legs from cardboard and padding and the fire coming out of his rockets are pajama pants I made!

Steph - So much fun these "made" costumes , treasured moments. With that - I am sending my little man to "flying" but am stuck on how to attach these legs! Can you advise on how you attached them??
Thanks .

ONA-They are attached by a belt under this fake hoodie (the hoodie is only the front part. I traced his legs and added a bit of length at the hip then cut a hole in the cardboard leg shape, threaded a belt through it and strapped it to him.
