Amanda Visell Alligator Costume! Happy Halloween!!!!

So the other day Amanda Visell posted on her twitter anyone that dresses up as one of her characters for halloween she'll send em a package. So of course I got excited for this and decided to squeeze it into my busy schedule. Anyways this toy is one of my favorite toys I own as well as one of one of my favorite toys Amanda Visell has made so I decided it had to be made as a giant cardboard box version.

This is what the toy looks like for real

Then after a few hours and many complications such as running out of spray paint and duck tape so the support  was kinda shaky. Also my batteries died as i went to take pictures and i couldnt find my charger for a while. Then also after the pictures were dont and taken I realized i forgot to do the upper teeth :(
Anyways though I had lots of fun making it and im pretty happy with out it came out for the most part considering the amount of time i had to work on it and the materials i had. Now i jsut need to find a place in my room for it and build a better support for it!

So heres what i ended up with!

This is the picture i ended up sending to her I hope she likes it :)
