one year when i was a kid, i dressed up as a number 2 pencil for halloween. it was made from a huge cardboard tube that fit over my body. we added a cone for the lead, cut holes for my eyes, and my dad spraypainted it for me with metallic paint. it was perfect except for the fact that i couldn't bend my knees once it was lifted over my head so walking and climbing stairs was incredibly difficult. and, since my arms were also trapped by my sides, i couldn't hold a bucket for candy collection. and i couldn't ring any doorbells.
details, details. it was still an incredible costume.
