I’m making a Halloween costume that features my head inside a box. All good if In use my hands to support said box, but I’d like my hands to be free.

This seems like a solved problem, got any hints on how I might support the box so its stable while leaving my arms and hands free?

All of the interior will be visible - the purpose is to make a 2 dimensional frame for my face, so don’t even need the rest of the box if I can figure out how to suspend the frame

My first thought would be to get some plexi and make a shoulder harness with a small weight on the back to counter the weight of the frame so it doesn’t slip too far downward.

Say more about shoulder harness? I think that’s what I’m looking for…

Like what marching bands use for bass drums, but with different mounting points and counterweight.

No, what was I thinking? My first thought (second) would be to just get a hard hat and take the inner part out and fix the frame to it.
