There’s nothing better than a DIY rainbow robot aka RAINBOT Halloween
costume, am I right? The other day I threw a fun Halloween bash with my closest
friends at a restaurant down the street. This year was different than last year
because I decided to make a Halloween costume bigger than normal, as you can
see. I made my Rain-bot costume with my husband Ben in our garage. I knew the
body of it would be too big to fit in a regular @Uber car so we ordered an
uberXL. Our Uber driver-partner was courteous and helped me fit my robot
costume in his trunk. We danced and laughed the night away. I love this restaurant
because they really go all out on the Halloween decor. We had such a fun
time and I love how all of my friends handmade their costumes too.
DIY Rain-bot costume:
How I created it:
First I measured out
the foam core and drew lines with the ruler where I would be cutting to make
the perfect box.
After I cut the lines
to make the perfect box I folded those cuts over.
After doing this I
realized the white side of the foam core
would be smoother to spray silver so I had to completely cut the box up and re
tapped it with the white side facing out. You learn as you go with these type
of things. HAHA
I made sure the silver
tape laid flat on each corner.
After I taped the box
all up I traced buckets for perfect circles on the sides and on the very top. I
then used an exacto knife to cut the holes.
Here it is with the
cut out for the head!
And the arms!
Next, I sprayed the
entire box silver, and sprayed my taupe boots to match.
We let it dry for an
hour and then we went back down and sprayed the different knobs various pastel
colors. After letting them dry for a while we glued them on right before
leaving to the party.
And Ta-Da! Here it is!
Rain-Bot 5000!
I paired this outfit
with my favorite rainbow wig and rainbow tutu along with my big earrings and
disco ball headband. I hope you enjoyed this fun DIY costume! Make sure to take
an uberXL when you roll up to the party with your friends! And thank me later!
Oh and one more tip: I recommend using the Pickup Messages feature and messaging your driver something like "I'm the girl in the robot costume"
