The Coolest Halloween Costume!

Hello! This post is about the coolest halloween costume EVER! Have you ever been in the situation where its one week away from halloween and you have no idea what your costume is? Well this past Halloween I was in the situation myself. I thought and thought put I couldn't come up with anything!!! But then it came to me. I needed a lightbulb, a great idea! And that's when I realized I was going to make a lightbulb costume to wear for halloween. I just needed to make a costume. I thought of what I already had.

-yellow tissue paper
-shiny silver duct-tape
-packaging tape

Then I thought of what I needed to get.

-something for if it rained
-something if it is chilly
-pants!!!!
-battery powered lights
-chicken wire

I went to Target and Ace Hardware. I got yellow plastic clear wrapping paper to put over the tissue paper if it rained. I bought a white fleece for if it gets chilly. [If you have a white fleece you should use that] For pants/bottoms I got shiny silver leggings to go with my duct tape. The battery powered lights are to light up the lightbulb. The chicken wire is the actual base of the whole thing.
First you should cut and sculpt the chicken wire into a lightbulb shape. Also, remember to cut holes for your arms. The cut edges might be sharp so I recommend bending them or covering them with tape. Now attach the yellow tissue paper all over the chicken wire so you can only see yellow. Now cover the paper with the clear yellow wrapping paper in case it rains.
Cover the bottom of the lightbulb shape with your shiny silver duct tape. Using your packaging tape attach the lights to the inside of the costume. Make sure the on and off switch is near your hands when you try one the costume. Now put your fleece on, then your leggings and slip your lightbulb over your head. And no you have made the coolest halloween costume EVER!

Stay posted,
Nina
