Popcorn Costume Design

For last year's Halloween trick or treating, I couldn't think of a costume nor could I afford to buy one. So I searched on google images for some ideas, but couldn't find anything there either.

Then it hit me, popcorn. I took a big box and took out the top and bottom as well as cut arm holes in the front. Added some straps for it to stay on, pained the box to look like those red and white popcorn cups from the dollar store, put in some extra cardboard to go around my neck and fit in the box just above my shoulders, pooped some popcorn and poured it right on top!

Totally cool no?

There are other costume ideas I've seen as well, like grapes, jelly beans, crayons, and even static cling from the dryer!
