Ingredients
- 4 pantyhose knee highs black
- large bubble wrap about 30 inches wide
- 8 pipe cleaners black
- thread black
- leotard top black
- pants black
Instructions
- Cut four bubble wrap strips about 4 inches high. Set aside.
- Twist the ends of two pipe cleaners together and put them in the center of each of the bubble wrap strips.
- Roll the bubble wrap into a long cylinder, flap side down so it doesn’t unroll on you.
- Get a pantyhose knee-high, and put in on over the bubble wrap cylinder, just as if you were putting on socks. Make sure that you bring the sock all the way up so the bubble wrap is covered completely.
- Pin the end of each “leg”.
- Sew to close the end of one of the legs. Attach the second leg under the first at a slight angle and sew it together.
- Get the third leg facing the opposite direction, and sew it to the two already sewn.
- Put the fourth leg on at a slight angle to the third leg, and sew it on to the whole.
- Put the shirt on the “victim”, and have the “victim” stand with the back to you.
- Very carefully, sew the legs onto the shirt, then have the person remove the shirt to complete sewing.
- Point each of the top legs toward the armpit, and secure it with a pin.
- Point each of the bottom legs horizontally outward and secure with a pin.
- Turning the fabric almost inside out, sew the legs onto the shirt where you have pinned them. This will keep the legs from drooping too much.
- Put appropriate makeup on, and have a spooktacular time!
