What You'll Need

Materials

Tomato cage
Handsaw
Gray tulle (about 5 yards) (Pictured: Tulle, 54 inches, in Charcoal)
Stapler
Scissors
Glue gun
Dried leaves and sticks
Assorted farm-animal toys and model fence

Instructions

Prep Tomato Cage

Cut off stakes under the third ring with a hand saw. Place the cage over your child's head, noting where his or her face and shoulders hit, and making sure they can easily walk around in it.
Create Tornado

Remove the cage, twist 2 strips of tulle to create shoulder straps, and staple them across the second ring of the cage. Twist tulle then work your way down, wrapping and stapling as you go. Leave spaces for your child's face and arms.
Add Finishing Touches

Use a glue gun to attach dried leaves, sticks, mini cows, and model fences to the tornado. Just before you leave for trick-or-treating, help your child into the cage and add tulle around his or her legs, stapling fabric to itself and making sure he or she has plenty of room to walk.
