02 Nov Halloween and Wal-E! Homemade Costumes rule!
“Wiggs” as WALL e
It’s a good thing Drew likes projects – because this one took 2 weeks.
But look at the joy on Wiggs’ face – he had the coolest costume in San Clemente. Next year, we’ll enter a contest. Maybe we’ll win some money!
Check out the photos of “The Making of Wal-E” here:

Posted at 09:10h, 17 OctoberGreat Costume!! We are building one too… I was wondering what the tracks and the binocular eyes are made of? I know you must get a lot of questions about this so if you have a sec I’d greatly appreciate hearing about it in 25 words or less to minimize your time…

Posted at 09:31h, 17 OctoberAlex, thanks for the comment. To answer:
The eyes inside the binocular eyes (the shiny part) is CD’s glued to the foam head. The foam head is glued to a bicycle helmet.
The tracks are made of foam also. Underneath the whole thing sits on a wooden frame with caster wheels that can move in any direction.
I towed the whole thing with my son in it from house to house around the neighborhood!
Good luck with your costume – it’s awesome having something that no one else does!
