the sweetest vending machine there ever was

 We can't believe that Halloween will be happening this coming weekend!  So it was time to get going on costumes.  Ryder LOVES homemade costumes, that are out of the box and not like anyone else.  So this year, he decided to be a vending machine.

Here is the box that we got from Costco and where it all started, so technically, we can say that we got our costume from Costco...

Then we just took it from there...

I used wood discs spray painted white and put letters on them for the buttons:

We got the coolest roll of acrylic for the glass front.  We thought that we would use plexiglass, but this was so much easier and you can cut it to size and it was the same prize as a sheet of plexiglass.

If we have another project like this, I will use it again...

Then we glued bags of chips to a foam board from the 99 cent store.

Here is the {almost} finished product:

(We just need to get the suspenders on so that she can wear it and then Kit will be installing a special surprise that hasn't come yet, inside for when it gets dark...)

The project was so fun for us to do together and he is ready for Halloween with his friends!

Now we are off to Hogwarts to get Eden ready...
