Pac Man is one of the most iconic and recognizable video game characters of all time. And with this idea from Kathlene at The Effortless Chic, you can recreate the look as a Halloween costume! You’ll need a large cardboard box for this – if you don’t have one that’s big enough on hand, try calling around to retail stores looking for one. Chances are you will find a store that is willing to save their empty boxes from receiving stock, and you will be on your way to a super cheap costume! [how to make a Pac Man Halloween costume]
