Grave Digger Truck Costume
Submitted By Samantha Harris
"I made this costume for my oldest son. The truck is made from a cardboard box and felt. I used aluminum foil for the bumpers and reflectors for the tail lights. It had working headlights because I used battery powered jack-o-lantern lights. The straps were just pieces of elastic. I used iron on lettering for the wording on the side of the Grave Digger. This took quite a bit of time but was inexpensive." ~ Samantha.
