I'm looking around for ideas to build a non-working jetpack for my spacegirl costume this year. I've seen a pack made from a mailbox but I can't get my hands on one of those mailboxes very cheaply. Do you guys have any crafty ideas to create a cool pack?

how about basing one off the one they use on the Quaker oats commercial, made out of two large Quaker oats tubes?

I think what would be cool would be to buy,
or... ahem... lift a couple small fire extinguishers
and connect them together. Decorate them up
and come out with something like this...
You'd have the added benefit that if you can
figure out a way to trigger the extinguishers the
backpack would look functional.
Edit: Probably end up with a cold butt, though

LOL! In that case, I may pass. Although it would be sweet to have a jetpack that (appears to) work!
I may try the quaker canisters. Or some combination of canister/decorated box idea. I'll definately post pictures once I get it done!
