An Easy Costume for Apple Fanboys

Homemade iPhone and iPod Costumes

Scholastic’s Parent & Child magazine ran the obligatory article on easy-to-make Halloween costumes, featuring costumes from Where the Wild Things Are, Twilight, plus the Apple-tastic costume above, and more.

Each comes with pretty easy-to-follow instructions:

For the Apple logo on the back, enlarge the design by blowing up a paper copy on a Xerox machine, and cut this out in aluminum foil. For the face of the iPhone, you can either replicate the apps options by enlarging these with color Xeroxes at any Staples or Kinkos, or choose another screen you want—say, your photo—and enlarge that, cut it out, and glue it onto the foam core. You can do this with any app or function you choose.

The costumes were featured on the CBS Early Show this week, if you need to see them moving around.

To really prove your cred, though, you’ll need to go as a working iPhone.

My kid is hell-bent on going as a SWAT-type officer of some sort–share your costume ideas in comments!
