One of the most anticipated nights for many arrives. The night of October 31st which, for a few years many have known as Halloween night. American influence has come to our towns and cities to stay and, although in many places it still coexists with local traditions such as Castanyada, it is difficult for children not to want to disguise themselves for this “terrific” night.
Alicia is an Australian mother of two who lives in Merlbourne. Alicia enjoyed making costumes for her children and, finding them too expensive, decided to use cardboard boxes. Her hobby grew and she began publishing her creations. She now has a fantastic website called Zygote Brown Designs, full of costume ideas made using cardboard boxes. "I love working with cardboard," she says in her website introduction, "because it is free and so versatile, and I hate seeing a perfectly beautiful cardboard box thrown away. Cardboard can have far more than one use. It has so much to offer. All it takes is a little imagination."
For these dates he has prepared at the request of his Latin American followers who wish to celebrate the “Day of the Dead”, a lovely cardboard skulls. Alicia publishes the templates of her creations, delicious photographs of them, tutorial videos and a list of the material needed for construction.
Other charming costumes, all made using cardboard boxes, that we find on its page are the lion's, funny beards, a super fun Frankenstein head or one of tyrannosaurus, a cardboard horse, an original paper doll costume or even a UFO. Cardboard costumes that will surely delight the children who, in addition, will have fun as they build them with the help of the parents, yes.
A good idea to prepare this Castanyada, the Day of the Dead or Halloween.
