The leaves are starting to turn yellow, and you know what’s next – a long season of holidays. Halloween is an exciting holiday that makes me spend too much money. And don’t get me started on the Halloween costumes. This Halloween Costume DIY for Box Trolls is a much easier and more affordable option!
Box Trolls Halloween Costume DIY
After the 50 bucks I spent Elza’s dress on Etsy was a complete waste, I wanted to have better options. Don’t take me wrong – the costume was gorgeous, but after the first party my daughter said that it was too itchy and wanted to wear something else. Plus, she was one of fifty Elzas at her school Halloween parade. Do you know what is an excellent idea? A Halloween Costume DIY – let your imagination run wild and stop overspending!
This year we are going in style and completely free. Have you seen the Box Trolls movie? My kids loved it, and I thought it was super adorable.
Today’s costume idea is for the Box Trolls Costumes
Meet Eggs and Cereal! If you remember the movie, the trolls took their names after the words on the boxes they wore. Do you remember EGGS?
Meet the New Generation Eggs!
Supplies Needed:
Box
Start looking around for a box that would be big enough for you to wear.
Craft
Get a pair of big scissors and start cutting:
– A big hole for the head
– Two smaller ones on the sides for the arms
and that’s it. You can always flatten the box if you need to transport it.
Details
Write “Eggs”, “Cereal” or whatever else on it. Just because there was no Cereal troll, doesn’t mean that you can’t have one.
OPTIONAL: Tape actual packaging to the box – I bet you can find an empty cereal box in your house for an extra flashy look.
PRO TIP! Older folks might not know about this awesome movie. Don’t confuse them – introduce yourself as the “The Healthy Breakfast DUO“! I bet you will get some extra candy for being such good kids.
Awww, these are so totally cute. I will see if my daughter wants to do something like this for Halloween!
Cool way to recycle! Oh yes, boxtrolls, so that’s the title my daughter has been watching! I guess she’s going to have a lot of fun doing the same thing.
I love this idea. I am all about easy crafts because I don’t have much handsy, crafty talent.
These are easy to make and budget friendly halloween costumes. I would maybe throw in a splash of color that would blend in with the clothes they would wear underneath.
I simply love the creativity!
And your models are so cute and working them well!
I love homemade Halloween costumes!! These turned out great, it was a super cute movie too.
Fun! I love creative Halloween costumes so much more than store bought ones. And the box trolls movie was a lot of fun!
That is so awesome! Totally a fun DIY costume. We just saw the body rolls this summer at Harkins summer movie program, I didn’t know about its previous release. I thought it was a great movie!
We saw the movies on the shelves at the store and got excited. We missed it in the movie theater!
Fun idea! I love costumes that are quick, easy, and CHEAP!! And the kids can do most of this themselves!
What a great and easy costume!! I watched this movie and loved it!!!
What a clever idea. Can’t believe that it will be Halloween soon. Time is going fast!
What a cute and creative costume option. Looks really easy to make too.
When we first watched The BoxTrolls, my kids did the same thing, lol! And it would be a great idea for Halloween.
That is such a cute idea for Halloween!! I love that
Sorry…I accidently hit post before I was finished 😉 I love that it is a frugal way to get your kiddos a really cute and unique costume!!
