  • Digital file type(s): 3 PDF

This is a full-size template (pdf digital download) for you to create a transforming car costume for kids. For a demo video check my Instagram post:

https://www.instagram.com/p/BKwRT2DjlqU/

The costume is designed to fit children with a max height of about 4'. While this is not a hard limit, the real constraint is if the person can fit within the costume in "car mode." Rough dimensions of the costume in "Car Mode" are L:31" W:12" H:13"

What's included:
+ The PDF template file: 3 pages (24"x36"). You'll need to take care of printing. I would recommend Staples' online service for engineering prints (link below).
+ The instructions: 3 pages (8.5"x11")
+ FAQ document to help answer any questions you have... but don't worry, you can always reach out to me, too!

Materials you'll need to complete the costume (not included):
+ Foamboard: 3 sheets 20"x30" (I would recommend the dollar store, or if you have your own, that's fine too)
+ Hot glue: Not too much, but more than a couple sticks
+ Tape: duct, painters (the blue stuff), packaging (the instructions give guidance on which type, and where)
+ Spray glue: kind of optional, but super helpful
+ Paint: up to you (but I might suggest yellow and black)

Tools you'll need to complete the costume (not included):
+ Box Cutter or X-Acto knife
+ Foamboard rabett cutter
+ Straight edge
+ Cutting mat
+ Hot-glue gun


Staples Engineering Prints cost about $4 per page for 24"x36".

This template helped me pull off the ultimate costume for my son. He won first place in his age division costume contest at his school’s fall festival.

Great instructions, definitely need to set aside a decent portion of time to achieve the look you want. Ours won best costume at a recent school disco and had all the kids and adults floored!
