Discarded Beanie Babies

Supplies needed:

• Cardboard box (mini-fridge size, approximately) String Beanie babies (Get some on eBay if you were foolish enough to sell yours in 1995, or use other stuffed animals you have around the house)

• Bright colored sweatshirt

• Face paint

• Construction paper

Remove top of cardboard box and cut a hole in the bottom so that you can step into it, and pull the box up to your waist. Use the string to create shoulder straps to hold the box in place. Affix beanie babies around the top of the box so they hang over the edge tragically. Use fluffy sweatshirt and facepaint to create your own beanie baby persona. Remember the heart-shaped nametag! Write “4 SALE: 10/$1″ on the box with a sharpie and walk around with droopy arms and a frown.
