Dresser

You can buy cardboard dressers at the bigger retail stores for an inexpensive price. Cut the sides for arms and the top to put your head thru.If you want to pad it up a bit to keep it in place, using foam you can buy at a craft store. You can then paint the dresser a nice color, usually white, and write, shirts, socks, etc. on each drawer. You can then hang pants, socks, and whatever you choose out of the coordinating drawers. For an added touch, glue a doily to the top of it, and glue a small hairbrush, mirror, and accessories to it. You can always wear a lampshade on your head as a table lamp to complete your dresser outfit.

Bubble Bath

A very original idea that will guarantee a second glance! Dress in a white bodysuit, white pantyhose, and slippers, and grab a new shower cap to put on your head. Cut the bottom out of a white laundry basket and put two wide strips of material, white, on the edges to create "suspenders" to loop over your shoulders. Attach white, peach, and pearl balloons to both the straps and the basket to create bubbles. Carry a scrub brush, and you're all set!

Basket of Laundry

Cut out a laundry basket to fit over your body.Attach suspenders using felt, rope, or material so the basket stays on your shoulders. Fill with clothes, and pin a few so they are hanging out over the edges. Pin a few dryer sheets on you for good measure.

Dice

Using a box that will fit around you, paint it bright white. Take construction paper and cut out black circles, and then glue them on the sides in the right order. Slip over your head and you are done! Very simple, fast, and easy. also cheap! OR:

Rubik's Cube

Gather five different colors of construction paper. Use a large cardboard box for the cube, and a ruler to make even lines with the construction paper. Cut out the appropriate number of cubes and paste on each side. Wear black leggings and a black shirt underneath.
