Hi, My name is Alicia Brown. I live in Melbourne Australia and design templates for people to make costumes out of cardboard.

I love cardboard, it’s completely underestimated. Most people throw away their cupboard boxes. But when I get a brand new crisp cardboard box in the house, I get really excited about the possibilities. It’s nothing new, kids have been playing with cardboard boxes for years. A cardboard box can be anything we want it to be, with just a little imagination.

You can visit my website and I also have a YouTube channel showing people how to put the costumes together.

Not historically accurate as vikings never worn horned helmets like that; but great work.

Vikings didn't have wings or horns on their helmets.

    It just blows my mind when I see a genuine artist use her unbelievable talent to have fun with her kids. These are the kind of experiences that money can’t buy and will provide stories to tell the grandchildren.

    Lady you are brilliantly artistic! My husband and our son made an alien ship with lights one Halloween. Son was a green alien. The top was halfway "open" so son could see and be seen.

    Your comment made me realize I missed the caption, because I scrolled too quickly to look at the Mr. Peanut costumes. They are Mr. Peanuts!
