Materials

  • Large cardboard box (24x24x18 inches)
  • Box cutter or utility knife
  • Black permanent marker
  • Duct tape or packing tape
  • Old lampshade
  • Small props (1-2 items: tissue box, water bottle, alarm clock, or fake candle)
  • Optional: black shirt and pants for a clean base outfit

Instructions

  • Cut out a large hole on the top for your head and two smaller ones on the sides for your arms. Make sure it fits comfortably.
  • Using your black marker, outline two drawers on the front of the box. Then add small circles in the center for handles.
  • Write “ONE NIGHT STAND” in bold letters across the top of the box. This is where the humor comes to life.
  • Place an old lampshade on your head as the “lamp” sitting on the stand. Secure it with string or an elastic band if needed.
  • Tape lightweight items like a tissue box, clock, or fake drink bottle on top of the box to make it look like a real nightstand.
  • Slide your arms through the holes, pull it over your head, and you’re ready to steal the show at your Halloween event.
