Description

M&M costume with arm holes made out of foam

Materials

½ foam sold by the yard
Spray paint
Sheet of paper
Tape
Scissors
Needle and thread

Instructions

  • Cut out a circle pattern out of newspaper that would be of good size for the person wearing it. Cut two circles out of ½ foam sold by the yard.

  • Make an m out of a sheet of paper and tape onto the middle of one of the circles. Spray paint one side of each circle, and remove the m pattern, and let dry.

  • Put the two circles together and sew the shoulder areas by hand, leaving room for the head to go through. Leave room for the arms to go through and sew down to the legs, leaving enough room in the leg area for the child to walk in.

    Tips for Taking a Great Photo:
    • Avoid clutter. Keep the background simple -- your costume is the star!
    • Daytime, natural light is best. If your area is bright enough, try taking the photo without the flash.
    • Upload a horizontal photo. If you crop the image on your computer, make sure you keep a landscape 4:3 aspect ratio.
    • For best results, make your image 1200x900 (or "save for web").
    • With a digital camera, you can take as many photos as possible and choose the best one. Have fun!
