It’s almost Halloween so it’s time to start thinking about Halloween costumes! Being a cosplayer, we take costumes very seriously in our house, and this year is no different! I wanted to make something unique for my daughter that she would have fun wearing, so when I thought of making a costume based on one of our favorite video games characters, I knew it would be perfect!

You can make your own Robot Bunny Girl costume for yourself or your little one too for Halloween or even for comic con!

What you’ll need:

  • Amazon boxes (one box to fit the body portion, and enough boxes to build the arms, boosters, and bunny ears)
  • Pink Spray Paint
  • Clear boxing tape
  • Duck tape
  • Acrylic paint in light pink, dark pink(almost maroon color), light green, lime green, and black.
  • Paint brushes
  • Box cutters
  • Ruler to measure
  • Pencil
  • Toilet paper roll or paper towel roll
  • PVC pipe and elbow connection

The first step is to take your main body box and tape the top down with the clear boxing tape. We taped both the inside and the outside to give it good structure. Next, you’ll take your box cutters and cut the bottom flaps off.

After, take your pencil and draw a circle on the front of the box. This will be your face hole, so make sure to make it big enough for yourself or your child. You’ll also draw either circles or a “U” shape on the sides where your arms will go. We opted for the “U” shape because we knew it would be easier for our daughter to get it on and off quickly.

Use the box cutter to carefully cut those sections out.

Next, you want to work on the bunny ears. To make the bunny ears, you’ll make wedges out of the extra cardboard boxes. Use your ruler or another measuring device to decide how long, wide, and high you want the ears to be. We made ours about 3 inches tall, 3 inches wide, and 8 inches long.

After you’ve got the ears taped on, you’ll want to make the shoulder pieces. These will go above the holes you made for the arms for more of that armored look. To make those you’ll want one long rectangle with 3 small triangles for the sides.

Once you’ve taped the shoulder pieces on, you’ll make two small boxes to attach to the back to be rocket boosters (because what is a robot without awesome rocket boosters?)

To make the arms, you’ll make one large rectangle box, another smaller rectangle box. Our dimensions for the bigger box were about 4 inches tall and wide by 10 inches long. The smaller box was 5 inches tall, 4 inches wide, and 2 inches in depth. To make the shape of the arms, you’ll make a sort of “T” shape with the boxes, but place the edges so they’re flush together on one side, then have the smaller box a couple inches (depending on size) from the edge, then tape together.

Grab all your pieces and your spray paint, and get to spraying!

If you need to do a few coats, that’s okay!

At the end, let them all dry!

After everything is all dry, it’s time to get to painting the details!

I put a bunny on the front to represent the bunny girl, and other details like a painted on “headset” around the head hole and light pink paint on the ears and rocket boosters to give the boxtume a bit more texture. I also cut about an inch off of the toilet paper roll and painted the inside and outside in dark pink.

While I let the paint dry, I made the handles. I cut the pvc down to 2 10 inch pieces and 2 4 inch pieces. I then attached the pieces using the elbow connection. Once connected I covered them in duct tape. 

Afterwards, I connected the handle to the arm piece using duct tape. I made sure to use a LOT because I didn’t want it to come apart when being handled by my daughter.

Next, I grabbed the toilet paper roll pieces that I’d painted and taped them to the front of the arms to finish off the blasters.

The last step was to use some twine to connect the arms to the body. I did that by poking small holes through the arms and the part of the box under the shoulder pieces, then connected them by threading the twine and tying it together.

Et Voila! Now you have your own Robot Bunny Girl Boxtume brought to you by Amazon Boxes! Show me your own Boxtumes in the comments and if you make your own, make sure to share using #boxtumes as a hashtag!

Excuse my tired eyes but I just read goodnight moo Excuse my tired eyes but I just read goodnight moon in Korean for the first time! Did I understand it all? Not so much but it helps I know the English one by heart. 😹 it also took so long Marvel was really yawning at the end. I never thought I’d be learning Korean but I’m so glad I am! I love the language and the challenge it presents! And doing it with my kids is even better! I’m glad I found @talkboxmom to help us in this endeavor. Check out the link in my bio so you can learn a language with your family too!

As the year is coming to an end, I wanted to highl As the year is coming to an end, I wanted to highlight something I’m very proud of. 

You see, I used to be an avid reader. I read ALL the time. Like the kid who would stay up way past her bedtime and being a book wherever I went sort of thing. 

One of the realizations for me that I was suffering from anxiety and depression was that I barely read anymore. Like I could count on one hand usually how many books I’d read in a year. And this devastated me because it was and is something I love. 

This year, like others, I made the goal to read more. Didn’t matter what kinds of books or if it was fanfiction. I knew I just needed to read. I got a kindle paperwhite and that plus my AirPods that I got (I count listening as reading because sometimes that’s all I can do), and my meds, helped me to do more. 

When I got this notebook a few months ago, I listed what I’d read and the sight of it makes me so happy to look at. They’re not in chronological order but for next year I will do it that way. 

A lot of these books too have been advanced readers copies! And that’s been really fun to read and review those and I’ll continue to do so.

I tried speaking to her in French but she was stubborn and wanted to speak what she wanted to speak 😹 I can’t complain though because the fact she’s learning an Uber complicated language like Korean makes me proud!

Ten years ago today I married my best friend. I kn Ten years ago today I married my best friend. I know that’s cliche to say but he is my person. He is my positive when I can only think of the negatives in my life. He makes me laugh (and I thankfully make him laugh too!) and I love the family we have created. Even though times are tough and we’ve been hit by many imperial cruisers in our life, we make it through.

Today was my birthday. 33! Sadly I did not get to Today was my birthday. 33! Sadly I did not get to fulfill my dream of going to Club 33 for my birthday but I did order cheesecake from @juniorscheesecake through @goldbelly and it was divine! My brother @barney_bro is in the pic with me because his birthday is 2 days after mine. For basically our whole lives we’ve always celebrated together and I am so glad we did it (safely) this year too! He’s the best birthday buddy ❤️
