We recently made this recycle automaton fancy snip costume using the cardboard box from our WHO GIVES A CRAP gutter paper. If you ‘re not familiar with Who Gives A Crap, they make fantastic tree friendly recycled toilet paper with no credit card packaging and their boxes are prefect for building thrust !
We love making our own recycled dress improving costume, this automaton costume is pretty easy and superintendent playfulness. If you do n’t have the same cardboard boxes, do n’t worry, fair get creative with the materials you have available .
Before we get into the make, I wanted to THANK YOU from the bottomland of my heart for visiting MINI MAD THINGS.
