FIND A BOX, THE SIZE DEPENDING ON THE SIZE OF THE PERSON WEARING THE COSTUME (WE FOUND A DISCARDED BOX AT A FURNITURE STORE). TAPE THE BOX TOGETHER WITH ELECTRICAL TAPE. CUT A SQUARE IN THE FRONT OF THE BOX (THIS WILL BE THE IPOD SCREEN).

PAINT THE ENTIRE BOX THE COLOR YOU CHOOSE, WE USED HOT PINK ACRYLIC PAINT MIXED WITH WATER, MAKE SURE TO PAINT OVER THE ELECTRICAL TAPE. CUT WHITE POSTER BOARD IN A CIRCLE AND GLUE IT TO THE FRONT OF THE BOX, BELOW THE SCREEN, THIS WILL BE THE IPOD CONTROLLER. CUT A PIECE OF SCREEN A SLIGHT BIT LARGER THAN THE SQUARE CUT IN THE FRONT OF YOUR BOX. WE CUT A STENCIL OF THE APPLE LOGO OUT OF THE REMAINING POSTER BOARD, AND SPRAY PAINTED A WHITE APPLE ON THE FRONT OF THE BLACK SCREEN. HOT GLUE THE SCREEN TO THE INSIDE OF THE BOX. CUT ARM HOLES IN THE SIDES OF THE BOX.

ADD CONTROLLER FEATURES TO THE WHITE POSTERBOARD CIRCLE, USING A BLACK PERMANENT MARKER. USE TUBING TO MAKE THE EARPHONES, CUT IN 3 PIECES (ONE 3 FT, TWO 1.5 FEET), CONNECT PIECES WITH CONNECTOR. PUT STYROFOAM BALLS ON THE ENDS OF THE 1.5 FEET PIECES. POKE SMALL HOLE IN SIDE OF BOX, PUSH END OF TUBING INSIDE HOLE, AND TAPE THE TUBE INSIDE THE BOX. THESE ARE YOUR HEADPHONES.
