Creative Costumes On A Budget

Make A Boxtume!

October 15, 2024

As Halloween approaches, TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® is once again embracing the spooky season with its “boxtume” campaign. Encouraging families to unleash their creativity and turn old moving boxes into attention-grabbing Halloween costumes, boxtumes make the season a bit more eco-friendly and a lot more fun.

Kid-friendly boxtumes are quick and easy to make, and with a few craft supplies, the opportunities are endless. To make the process easier, TWO MEN AND A TRUCK has curated a list of easy boxtume ideas with brief tutorials.

Some of the top boxtume ideas for 2024 include a claw machine, bubble bath, gumball machine, ghost, and a movie ticket and popcorn. Making a boxtume is an easy process. After gathering boxes and other craft supplies, families can visit the TWO MEN AND A TRUCK website to peruse costume ideas and find step-by-step tutorials. Once the Halloween masterpiece is complete, you’re ready for a spooktacular rest of the season!

“We love giving our communities ways to extend the lives of their moving boxes,” said Morgan Nelson, Director of Marketing and Recruiting. “The boxtume campaign brings families together, encourages creativity and takes some of the stress out of the costume selection and creation process by using materials many people already have around the home.”
