Learn now How to Make Cardboard Box Dinosaur Costume and create this beautiful costume for a child. You can be sure she will love it.

Start by doing the head part. Just cut a box in half using a stylus. Leave only one side uncut. Create teeth by cutting cardboards into triangular shapes. Also make the little eyes and small horns that are all over the back of the costume, including the head.

Use the teeth you made with cardboard to glue with hot glue, supporting the upper teeth with the lower ones to keep the head with the mouth always open. That’s where the child will look, breathe and talk.
