This homemade costume for boys entered our 2015 Halloween Costume Contest.

A word from Humberto, the 'R2D2' costume creator:

I made this costume for my son. Last year I made a basic robot with cardboard boxes for my self but he challenge me this year and asked me if I could make a robot for him.

I said yes right away thinking he wanted something similar.

The first think he said after I said yes was, "I want you to make r2d2 for me" it was like omg how am I going to come up with something like that.

I started looking at pictures and videos of r2d2 to get ideas on what to use.
