15 Halloween Costumes to Make From a Cardboard Box

Transform a box into a mask, just like this cool alligator head, with the help of scissors and paint. To create the look, cut the top from a long, skinny box, and then cut curving lines to create the mouth. Cut sharp teeth from tag board and glue on the inside of the cardboard box using tacky glue. Paint or leave natural for a fun Halloween look.

To secure the mask, attach a length of elastic on either side to slip under your little one's chin or connect a length of cardboard to the back of the mask, and then add secure a strap to wrap around your child's chest.
