“When your kid refuses to be anything but a Hot Pocket for Halloween. #UnderstoodTheAssignment,” Schaefer said.
The mom modified a foam mattress topper to be worn as the toaster pastry and spray-painted it brown. She used a sewing machine to sew the “Hot Pocket” logo onto a cardboard box to create the sleeve.
The quick tutorial racked up over 4 million views. People loved Schaefer’s work.
