Title: Halloween Win
Post by: trailrated on November 03, 2014, 11:06:10 AM
I saw a picture of something similar almost a year ago and decided for Halloween I was going to make it for my son. I tried to do it in the most mustachian way possible and it worked out well.

Costs:
Wood/Paint/Blue tape: Free from work
Wagon: $20 from craigslist
Mouse outfit: $15
PVC pipe: $3
Cheese heads: Borrowed from a friend
Wagon re-sold on craigslist: $40

Total: I made $2 on the costume

Aw, that's perfect! Just caught two mice IRL with smaller traps and they worked like a charm. Those mice weren't so cute!

Nice.  How did you get that thing up to each door, stairs, etc.

He's too little to actually eat any candy (although he's a big fan of chewing on a twizzler) So we just wheeled him around the block a few times (he loves riding in the thing) and stopped by a few neighbor's houses we are close with.
