Purim from a cardboard box! Make your own Purim costume.
Purim is just around the corner and there is little time left to get Purim costumes organized. Ready-made outfits are outrageously priced and anyway, you don’t want to be exactly the same as everyone else with a store-bought costume. What you want is something original and at the same time, have loads of fun and special time making costumes with your kids.
You’ll need a few large deconstructed cardboard boxes recycled from your online shopping on Amazon, EBay and AliExpress. Ikea has strong cardboard boxes for around 9NIS – they’ll do the job. You’ll also need a glue gun, scissors, wide tape, felt tip markers and other bits and bobs; scrap fabric, crayons, markers, jewels and whatever else, to create an original Purim costume. You’ll find everything you need at your local ‘Stock’ shop.
