Homemade Bumble Bee Transformer Costume

Created by Donna, and these are her words:

Here are some pictures of my sons costume from last year (2009) Its only July but we are already planning this years costume. LOL Eric was 6 y.o. last year. He asked me if he could be a transformer, bumblebee to be exact. I had not seen the movie at this point. But I knew I wanted the costume to "transform".

It is made out of cardboard boxes, paper plates, colored duct tape, lots of spray paint, 2 press lights for closets (10.00 a pair) His headlights really worked!! Kids as well as adults loved the costume. We hope you like it as well.

The costume was divided into 3 parts the "hood" (front end) was one box, the body of the car another and the roof was yet another box. the hood was attached with 2 small door hinges that allowed the car to fold so he could transform. I carried a boom box and played the transformer theme whenever he transformed.
