Product Information

It’s easier to do this flat on the ground, with a paint cloth underneath. The beauty of the project is that your lines do not have to be perfect! The edges will be covered up later with electrical tape. So just hand paint and do your best to make a general square for each color, following the creased lines of the box. Paint all the tops of the box one color, and all the bottom pieces another color. The white, yellow, and orange paints may require a few coats, while the dark colors might be fine with one coat. But I think it’s awesome. I don’t have that part of the brain that enjoys puzzle-solving or one that has patience in general. He definitely got that from Casey.

We also taped some padding (quilt batting) into the shoulder areas of the box to make it softer to wear. 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! SuppliesI 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! 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. Lay out all nine squares starting on one side. Organize them so they have the same amount of space between each square and make sure they are lined up.

And then there’s an added surprise….since every cube needs access points, for gathering extreme amounts of candy…He is even such a good sport to model his costume. He was having fun with it throwing out thumbs up. Now he really wants to learn how to solve a Rubik’s Cube. 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. More Halloween inspiration: Halloween Countdown Printable, Halloween Movies to watch, and Halloween Don’t Eat Pete Game Printable. 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. I am so excited to be sharing this homemade Rubik’s Cube costume with you today as part of a series with CRAFT. My husband teaches elementary school and he likes things that someone 10 to 15 years older than he would. He loves to play games and I knew this would be the perfect retro fun costume for him.
