It’s time to get into all things Halloween this month! This DIY PEZ container costume (and PEZ candy!) is probably my new favorite costume! How many times have I said that about a project?? Fun fact about me: I started collecting PEZ containers when I was a kid, and my parents kept the collection going. Now, there are boxes and boxes and boxes of PEZ containers displayed on the walls of parents’ house! I even made a PEZ container costume when I was in middle school, so it was fun to recreate the Halloween costume as an adult.

How to Make a PEZ Container Costume Out of a Box

Step 1: Make sure the box fits your body! You will need it to at least fit your torso and allow you enough space to walk. Then cut the top and bottom flaps of the box.

Step 2: Wrap the entire outside of the PEZ container costume box with the vinyl or removable wrapping paper. Trim the vinyl along the top and bottom and fold inside of the box to make clean edges.

Note, if your material isn’t sticking to the inside when folded, I recommend adding packing tape on top so that it sticks.

Step 3: Cut large PEZ letters out of craft foam. Measure them along the thinner side of the box to make sure they will fit.

Step 4: Once cut, paint the letters so that they match the vinyl. Let dry and paint a second coat if needed.

Step 5: When the letters are dry, cut the letters into pieces about 1 inch thick. Follow the pattern of the letter and keep all pieces together.

Step 6: Glue the PEZ container letters vertically to the smaller side of the box. Leave small spaces between each piece of the PEZ letters. Then use a small paintbrush to to fill in any unpainted areas of the letters.

Step 7: Cut another piece of fun foam in a ‘W’ pattern with a lot of space on the side. (see photo) Paint the same color as the other foam. Then glue to the bottom edge of the box along the same side as the letters.

Step 8: Put on the PEZ container costume and hold it where you want it to set on you. Ask a friend to help you measure how long to make the belting straps. Add at least 3 additional inches so that there’s room to fold the belting.

Step 9: Use the craft knife to cut slits about 1-1/2 inches from the top edge for the straps. Repeat on both sides. Thread the belting through the slits and glue to the other side of the belting.

Step 10: Lastly, make the PEZ candy accessory! Use the craft knife to curve the edges and carve PEZ on top. Then give it at least two coats of your desired paint.

That’s how you can make a PEZ container costume for Halloween! Use your favorite colors and you can use makeup and wigs to try out new looks. My middle school version of this costume featured terrifying clown makeup…I still don’t want to think about it πŸ˜‚ Happy Halloween crafting!

WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk abou WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk about the new pins in the shop...but they SOLD OUT in 12 hours instead πŸ˜­πŸ™ Andrew and I are so overwhelmed with the love of the #FIPWarriors community. Thank you to anyone who's purchased a pin to support Milo's treatment! We're so close to the end now! One more batch of pins coming up soon 😽
What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas decorations?! 😭 Half our neighbors already took down their Christmas lights, so I guess the only goal is to not be the LAST one with lights up. How long do you keep up your decorations?
Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holi Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holiday card before it's a week til Christmas, so we can actually send one πŸ€ͺ When we get Christmas cards, I always feel like a little kid getting mail again! Do you send a holiday card??⁠
⁠
(Grab this DIY card holder in the blog archives! πŸ‘‰)
More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHO More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHOCKED to see Milo's pins sell out so quickly. We made 50 with the expectation that we wouldn't sell very many, but I just put in an order for more inventory! 😭⁠
⁠
This time we'll be selling black and white cat "FIP Warrior" pins to help raise money for Milo's treatment. Stay tuned - a pre-sale is coming! Pins will ship again in early January. In the meantime, there's plenty of other products available in the shop! (Visit my @etsy via the link in my bio)
NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your su NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your support of Milo while he goes through FIP treatment! I designed a new enamel pin to help us raise the funds to pay for Milo's treatment...THEN we sold almost all of the pins in just in a few hours! I'm so thankful and in shock of the generosity of our FIP community 😭⁠
⁠
There are a few left and more on the way, so you can SHOP NOW on @etsy and here on IG!! If you want a pin and they are sold out, please tag yourself below! Visit the link in my bio to purchase πŸ›β

"FIP Warrior" is the name we give to cats fighting FIP and the humans who help them, bringing awareness to the disease and possible treatments. Our Warrior Milo is almost halfway through his treatment and we couldn't be more grateful to see him getting better! Every purchase from my shop helps us to pay for his expensive treatments and is so, so appreciated πŸ™πŸΌ
🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since 🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since my last post (oops!) but I had to fit in my one obligatory fall photo before I dive straight into Christmas! If you caught my Stories recently, you may have already seen why I've been so absent...⁠
⁠
Last month, our sweet Milo was diagnosed with a disease called feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). It's very serious and has required our full attention to give him daily injections that should help him recover. The treatment is 84+ days long and has taken a huge emotional toll on us. You can learn more about Milo's FIP story in my profile Highlights!⁠
⁠
Long story short: I've been too emotionally drained from Milo's treatment, my regular work and the crazy world around us to even think about social media 😣 I truly don't know how you fellow creators do it! Hopefully the cheerfulness of Christmastime gives me the urge to create again! (πŸ“Έ cookies made for a project with @spectrumorganic)
