HALLOWEEN COSTUME IDEAS:
FROGMAN COSTUME
(or DIVER or SNORKELER COSTUME)
This is a NO SEWING REQUIRED costume!
How to make a very cheap Halloween Costume out of a pair of adult footies:
Start with one pair of Black Adult Footed Pajamas
Make a
Scuba Mask
from Black Posterboard.
Use newspaper first - you'll need to adjust it to your frogman's head, eyes and nose. The little triangular cut in the small part of A is so that the Frogman isn't breathing directly onto posterboard all night.
 Make a
Diver's Belt
from Orange Posterboard & a Belt (or fabric). We used felt.
See D below right.
Cut a bunch of rectangles, cut two slits in each, thread the "belt" thorough them, tie around waist.
Make a pair of
Flippers
from Blue Posterboard or Craft Foam. We used Craft Foam.
Use newspaper first - you'll need to adjust it to your Frogman's feet. Then draw lines to give it a 3-D effect.
Staple it to a ribbon or strip of felt - tie around ankles.
DO NOT make them too long - just to the ends of the feet - and tie them pretty high on the ankles - do not make your Frogman trip!!!
Make a
Divers Air Tank
from Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, etc. Posterboard.
See F, G & H below.
Start by making a cylinder and taping it shut.
Cut 2" strips in the top and bend them down - staple them in the middle until you can't fit the stapler in there any more. Then just tuck them under the strips you've already stapled and tape them on the inside.
See more below.
