The mad hatter and his walking tea party

Me and Amy started playing around in a box and came up with the initial idea of being tweedledee and tweedledum, within the box. But we had no idea what the box could be. 

Ideas for the box:

-toy duck 

-car 

-collage of clips from the movie 

-tea party 

Tea party:

We started to think of ways we could hold the box up with as little effort as possible. With the help of others we made suspenders that attach to the box. Also as the box was droopy we put a few sticks of willow within the box to support to the top. 

Then we found a sheet of fabric and cut in body holes to put over the box to make the table cloth. We have decided to use others help to create cups, treats and table toppers.

Table toppers need to be a light material so the box isn't weighed down and the shape isn't altered.
Materials such as modroc, polystyrene and plastercine may be the right type to use. The type of materials I could use for icing could be coloured wax, glink, or paint.

Costume: 

Mad hatter: The mad hatter will be wearing a velvet waistcoat, bow tie (either made with buttons or badges), boot cut trousers, vest top and top hat. 

Tweedledee and tweedledum:

stripy top, leggings, stripped socks. Doc martens, and hat. 

Final outcome 

For the tweedle Dee and tweedle dum costumes I picked up two yellow shirts up from a charity shop, some yellow paper and some blue and red crêpe paper. I formed the bows and hats using the crêpe paper and yellow paper, also with a tad bit of superglue.
