Cell Phone Halloween Costume from a Box

Debbie Colgrove, Licensed to About.com
This was the year I didn't sew a single costume. We scanned a real phone and enlarged the buttons on the computer. We made all the graphics on the computer, shaded the buttons with Donna Dewberry's one stroke painting method, painted a large box shiny silver, and added a paper towel tube for an antenna and a bit of glitter. She thought the costume was cool but even better with hair glitter and a temporary tattoo.
