One: Cut a hole in the box

I had some extra time tonight, so I made my Halloween costume (I'm going to be the Bad Robot mascot). Observe:

So, seriously, step 1 is cut a hole in the box:



Iz just mai size!



Modifying the form: the bad robot has a little wedge nose, and as hard as I looked, I couldn't find anything this shape. I cut and bent cardboard into a wedge and duct taped it in place, then paper mached over it to make a solid shape.



Paper mache!! Strips of newspaper dipped into the mush (2 parts Elmer's glue, 1 part hot water) and laid to dry on the form.



Other details: cutting ping pong balls in half for the eyes and duct taping magnetic 'bolts' to my shirt.





Then painting:



Finally, assembly! Super glue for the magnet 'bolts', duct tape for the pipe cleaner spring.



And a little sharpie for edge effects.



Eh? Ehh? I have silver pipecleaner in bands around my neck as well, and then a solid skirt and heels. Use your imagination, and...


BAD WOBOT! 8D
