Garbage truck costume! It's halloween

I asked Liam what he wanted to be for halloween and he said a garbage man. This really came with a problem. I knew this would be his answer, or at least something along those lines but it was difficult. There is not garbage man or garbage truck costumes. So do it yourself was in full effect. I came across a few different sites that offered suggestions. But he here is my take on a garbage truck costume. All you need is a moving box, spray paint, a smaller box. Construction paper, print outs from the internet, aluminum foil, some ribbon for straps, and you are set!

Liam received so many compliments on this costume while we were out trick or treating.

Truck Birthday Goodie Bags

If you ask Liam, He would proudly tell you he is having a "garbage Truck" birthday!

I however would like to say it is a commercial truck and construction theme : )

But which ever way you prefer works for me.

For this project I used a lot of things from

Michael's Crafts

Oriental Trading

Die cuts ordered off Amazon

I thought these Goodie boxes came out perfect, and I just know they kids are going to love them!

I started out using Chinese take out boxes that I got at Michaels Crafts for .98 each.

I also picked up scrap book papers that I used as the black and white stripe on the outside of the box, and found stickers and die cuts to put in the center.

Most of the goodies I purchased from Oriental trading. They have almost anything you can think of, great prices and inexpensive. I filled my goodie boxes with sign lollipops, a cone, 1 matchbox construction car, tiny signs, stickers, and a couple car gummy chews.

I thought they came together nicely and everything fit perfectly inside!

I used glue dots for a lot of this project, those are my go to glue!

I cant wait to see what the kids think!

Here is the finished goodie boxes they came out amazing if I say so myself : )

What do you think?

I can't wait to see what the guest think!

Here is a another photo, image of the content and close up of the box. Enjoy!

In the back groud you can see one of t he construction signs I will be using for the party!

Stay tuned for more of Liam's Second Birthday and truck loads of fun.......
