You may have only just about a week until Halloween, but that doesn't mean it's too late to put together a one-of-a-kind costume for your kids that will have all your neighbors ooh-ing and ahh-ing. Send your little music fans out dressed like their favorite gadget with these instructions for a working iPod costume from Instructables user jtigermask13.
Most of the materials are standard costume necessities—paint, tape, markers—though you may need to track down a few of the more complicated pieces: look for big, empty cardboard boxes at an appliance store, and use the speaker from a recordable greeting card to hook up to your iPod. The bulk of the work is a matter of cutting and painting your cardboard, though the author also walks us through adding elastic armholes to keep out cold night air, giving each costume a Halloween-themed backlight on the screen, and hooking up lights and music for an extra technological touch.
The costumes here are sized for kids, but you can adjust them to fit adults as well—and if you don't have the patience (or the time) to do the wiring, they're just as likely to earn a treat without tunes.
