Vending Machine

Contest Photo by: jenmccarthy628

Description

I am a high school teacher, so I decided to be a vending machine! The costume is completely homemade, by my dad and I. He's awesome! As a little joke I will stand right next to the other vending machine in the cafeteria to fake kids out!

Materials

A reallly large box
shrink wrap paper for the window
snacks
slinky (cut in pieces)
black paint
black outfit
small stickers for letters and numbers
silver panel for the letters and numbers
and large doorways to fit through :)

Instructions

  • Find a large box, cut out arm and head holes. Paint it black. Cut out a large window as the machine window for the snacks. Frame this with gift shrink wrap so that it is clear and smooth.

  • Then take a black foam board. Screw in the slinky part. Hot glue gun snack to the board, with the sliky popping out a little bit to resemble a real machine.

  • Create a side input panel with silver paper(aluminum foil works fine.) Then place the foam board on a string or wire, and place over your head. THen throw the box over your head as well... TaDO!!!!!!!!!! VENDING MACHINE

    Tips for Taking a Great Photo:
    • Avoid clutter. Keep the background simple -- your costume is the star!
    • Daytime, natural light is best. If your area is bright enough, try taking the photo without the flash.
    • Upload a horizontal photo. If you crop the image on your computer, make sure you keep a landscape 4:3 aspect ratio.
    • For best results, make your image 1200x900 (or "save for web").
    • With a digital camera, you can take as many photos as possible and choose the best one. Have fun!
