We also taped some padding (quilt batting) into the shoulder areas of the box to make it softer to wear. So when it came time to brainstorm Halloween costumes, it seemed appropriate to think, inside the box. Heh, heh, heh. And then there’s an added surprise….since every cube needs access points, for gathering extreme amounts of candy… I loved how this turned out, when I saw it on I just laughed. It was great! I want to see what his students think on halloween.

You could also print a RUBIK’S CUBE logo and glue it to the front of the white boxes. People will know what you are either way. You can open them IN or OUT. Or you could make this into an Autobot Transformer costume? Totally looks like the face here, from this angle. I used cheap foam brushes—one for each color. AND, when you’re done painting a color, wrap the brush in a wet wipe and keep it near you (rather than rinsing out). This way the brush stays wet if you need to use it again to apply a second coat or touch up. Also a time saver. Then toss the brushes when you’re done. Not worth the clean up!

This costume is perfect for 80’s lovers, nerds, and anyone who wants to DIY their costume with no sewing, and only a few supplies thatare easy to gather. So let’s get making this funky costume! Supplies I did my Rubik’s Cube costume pattern so that the Rubik’s Cube was solved, but you could play around with it and mix up the colors.

Take each square and glue each square down using hot glue. Repeat with each side. On the top go around the had hole and remove excess from squares that go over the head hole. Leave out the square over each arm hole.
