CellPhone Costume - Fancy Dress



My dear friend's son had a fancy dress competition at school. The topic was 'Product'. Since this was very generic, we were initially confused, when given an option, the fancy dress participant himself chose mobile phone and even scripted his own dialogue!

  • I started with a cardboard and cut it up to the length measuring his height from head to ankle
  • Then from about 3-4 inches from top cut-off about 8 inches for Display screen where his face will be shown..
  • Added Slits at various heights to be tied around this chest, and stomach. Add ties through the slits and kep them ready
  • Wrapped up the cardboard with silver foil kind of gift wrapper. (ensure the display area is left open)
  • Then added panels by wrapping up newspaper with a reverse of a gift wrapper , silver foil effect, cheap and easy!
  • Using  a black marker added the navigation, answer and cancel buttons and also the entire keypad.


Viola! cell phone fancy dress was ready to worn. I did not get to fit it around him and check it, but after seeing the pics my friend mailed, i guess i have nailed the measurements and positioning right.

How do you like this cute little 'cell phone'?!

  6. Hi
    This is awesome. Thank you so much for sharing. Please could you also share the poem or dialogue which your son spoke? I know I am asking for too much but I am really short on time and also creatively challenged.
    Hoping I can save my daughter's fancy dress show with your help.

    Please share to shikha.niyogi@gmail.com

    Thankyou so much
