Having twins allows me to think in doubles.  They have been spiders, Thing One and Thing Twomonsters, Yip Yips, Angry Birds, Super Heroes and Star Wars Angry Birds!  This year we totally geeked out and created our very own  Mario and Luigi Go-Kart Costumes.

How to make your own Mario & Luigi Go Kart Costumes:

 We began with this cardboard car kit.  You could totally build one out of cardboard boxes but simply putting this together saved a lot of time.   We also had Mario and Luigi costumes (aff link) for the boys to wear.

Build the car inside out so only the white cardboard is showing.  This allows for easier painting later as you don’t have to cover up the black outlines that the car comes with.

 Next spray paint the entire car red.  This took one entire can of red spray paint for us.

 Add details like racing stripes and Mario symbol using acrylic paint.

 We created wings using some scrap cardboard and hot gluing them to the car.

 Cut circles of cardboard out for tires.  Paint on details with acrylic paint.

Cut a circle of cardboard in half and paint it to use for a steering wheel.  Cut two pieces of ribbon (aff link) about thirty inches long for straps.  Use a hot glue gun to fasten these all on to the car.  Repeat these steps in green and blue for Luigi.
