Halloween season is here, and TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® San Marcos/North County has a bright idea for your next DIY costume: the Rubik’s Cube Boxtume!
CREATE YOURS TODAY!
This colorful, nostalgic costume is easy to make, fun for all ages, and instantly recognizable. It’s perfect for kids, teens, or even parents who love a good throwback to the 80s. Plus, it’s a simple way to turn an ordinary moving box into something creative and conversation-worthy.
To get started, find a medium or large moving box (depending on who’s wearing it). Cut out holes for your head and arms, wide enough to move comfortably, and then paint or wrap the box in black paper. This will serve as the background for your cube’s colorful panels.
Next, cut out colored paper squares — red, blue, yellow, orange, green, and white, and arrange them in a 3×3 grid on each side of the box. You can tape or glue them in place, spacing them evenly to mimic that classic puzzle design. For an extra polished look, outline each square with black tape or marker lines to create the signature Rubik’s Cube edges.
This Boxtume can easily be finished in an afternoon and makes a perfect family project — light, comfortable, and full of personality. Whether you’re trick-or-treating around Carlsbad Village, attending a community event in Encinitas, or showing it off at a school carnival in Escondido, this bright, boxy costume is guaranteed to stand out.
At TWO MEN AND A TRUCK San Marcos/North County, we help local families move every day, but we also love helping them get creative! So grab a box, some tape, and a few bright colors, and get ready to solve your Halloween costume puzzle.
