Omg thank you I made this. My son is obsessed with Thomas. I made one little tweak. A hole thru the chimney and a little door on the inside behind it and my son could collect his candy this way. He won best costume in the neighborhood.

Thank you so much for this post. My twins are obsessed with Thomas right now and I made this for them this year (x2). It was such a hit and helped this not-so-artsy mom win Halloween.

Thank you again!

My son absolutely adores Thomas the train, definitely going to make this for Halloween! I hope I’ll make it as beautiful as you did.

Esta muy interesante y barato de hacer…

Lo que se me ocurre que ya una vez que pase el evento, se puede poner nuevamente el fondo y entonces usarlo como caja para juguetes =)

It is very interesting and cheap to do …

What occurs to me that once the event passes, the box can be put back and then used as a toy box =)

Can you please tell me how heavy it was? I’m worried my 3 year old will complain about having to wear it. Did yours?

Thank you so much for the tutorial! I made my son one for Halloween this past year and it was a hit! My 3d Thomas face didn’t work out well though so it had to be flat lol

Thank you! My Thomas is not as neat as your, but your step by step helped immensely!

I’m so excited to find this post. I dont want a flat face for our Thomas either!

Hi, I know this is a super old post but I have a question for you–what did you do with the entire bottom of the box? Did you cut out the flaps? My Thomas structure is about 99% done, but I just realized my son won’t be able to stand in it unless there’s a hole there. Thanks!

In reply to Jenna. I know! But we still have it and now #2 is big enough to wear it! She's a thomas fan too! Hope yours turns out cute!!

I am making this for my son for this year. I was just thinking how you made this 4 years ago and how your little guy must be all grown out of Thomas now! Anyway, thanks for this. I hope it turns out as good as yours!

I’m 20 and attending art school and this design will help me create my own adult version of this for my schools Halloween contest. 2017, I know right that was a long time ago. Small artistic adjustments but the same idea. Thank you. I’ll be sure to update this when it happens.

Thank you SO MUCH for this. My son is obsessed with Thomas and this literally made his dream come true. I love to paint and create things but building a replica of something so beloved is daunting. This was the push I needed. I only really changed a few things: I put a bit of batting in the “toot”, I nixed the extra box on the bottom and used a strip of red paper (my box as already too wide), and I moved my wheels all the way up onto the box because they kept popping off. OH and I covered the whole thing in a few coats of Glossy Mod Podge which REALLY brought it to life.

Hi!
I made this so long ago that I don’t remember what brand I used, I’m sorry! I think any one will be fine. I guess I’d just avoid the kind that changes color as it dries. 🙂

In reply to Abby. It's been a while since I made this, but I'm going to say it depends on how crafty you are. I'm pretty quick and I did it over a weekend stop and start. It wasn't that bad. Plus you've got instructions! Ha!
