 HALLOWEEN COSTUME IDEAS:
TEKKA NIGIRI
(TUNA SUSHI)
This is a NO SEW costume.
How to make a Tekka Nigiri Costume out of a pair of adult footies:
Start with one pair of Red Adult Footed Pajamas
Make piece of
Nori
(Seaweed) from a piece of Dark Green Felt
(Felt is available in a 6 foot wide version for about $5 a yard from fabric stores)
Make a
Sushi Rice Block
Put Packing Peanuts in a clear plastic bag (or laboriously glue packing peanuts to something the size of 3 large cereal boxes).
Wrap the Nori around the Rice Block - secure with Safety Pins.
  Make a
Silly Oriental Hat
from Black Felt -and Orange or Yellow Posterboard.
The hat in the photo was made by just cutting a large circle of Posterboard, cutting a notch in it, and stapling it with a Felt Tassel coming out of the top.
Make a
Ninja Sword (Sushi Knife)
from a piece of posterboard (see A, B & C).
Safety Tip:
Remember the safety tips from our DIY Page: ALWAYS be able to leap out of any costume immediately - in this case by clipping the pins that hold the Nori around your body so close to the edge that you could rip them out easily... (Always ask yourself: what if a bee gets in my costume?!?)
