Parcel post crafted up a gumball machine for their son for Halloween. The gum ball machine even worked and a gum ball came could be pushed out of the dispenser when the wheel turned. How awesome is that? There are not detailed instructions about how the costume was made, but I think it would be easiest (and lightest) to make it out of cardboard and paint!
