Papier-Mâché Costume of Mike Wasowski From Monster’s Inc.
by Shawna Porter, 11/01/10
Shawna Porter originally found a Monsters Inc. ‘Sully’ costume at a yard sale this summer for $5 that fit her oldest son perfectly. So this Halloween she had no choice but to turn her youngest son into Sully’s best friend “Mike Wasowski.” Shawna papier-mâchéd Mike’s head/eye with old newspaper and painted it with the kids, while an outfit was sewn together from some old clothes, and the feet carved from foam that she found in the laundry room. On top of all of this, Shawna also found some purple cloth for her little Boo and sewed her up a costume too. In the end, while she spent less than $20 to outfit her three kids, she says the best feeling came when watching the little eyeball strut around on Halloween – her son refused to take off his costume all night! A Green Halloween indeed!
Sure, you could probably go out and a buy a Monsters Inc costume — but this DIY one is soooooo much more fantastical!
