Default Wheelchair Costume Challenge

I won't bore you with the details but I'm in a wheelchair for awhile. My nephew is having Halloween at his house and I'd like to figure out something I can disguise my wheelchair with.

It can't have a lot of material around the wheels that would get caught and he's doing a pirate theme yard haunt.So maybe something pirate themed. doesn't have to be however.

I'd have to be able to wheel myself around too.

One more requirement is it would have to be something I could put on it when I got there and put on it while sitting in it or have help a little help.

Ideally I'd like to disguise it as something else. No clue where to start. It's the only participating I'll be able to do this year.

Thank you all in advance!!!!!

hmmm....i don't know, since it's a pirate theme..well, maybe you could sort of make it look like your in a mini pirate ship...not sure how you would do that...but its an idea, other then that, why would you want to disguise it? an alternative would be to wrap som glow stick around the arm rests, and maybe some spider webs on the back of the chair away from the wheels.

Not piratey at all, but how about Dr. Finkelstein from TNBC?

Some excellent costumes there - wouldn't have thought you could do so much with a wheelchair!

You could do a variation on the drummer and turn your wheelchair into a cannon!

All really good ideas!!! I just have to keep it simple enough that I can put it on when I get there. I'm using a loner chair right now so won't know the actual dimensions until I get mine. Maybe next week.
