Coolest Campbell's Soup Costume 2
by Michelle Hepworth
(London)
I found I was still holding my tummy in despite the huge cylinder suurounding me!
Made recently for an Arty Party! I was inspired by one of those pop-up springy washing baskets - very cheap to buy in pound shops or similar. I simply painted the design onto the plasticy material with acrylic paint - took a few hours but was actually quite relaxing! I copied it from a picture on the net.
Then I decided to jazz it up to go with the 60s idea, and I found the silver leggings and platforms in the charity shop round the corner which was quite lucky. You could do this in many ways though. I nearly bought a blonde wig and glasses too, to look like warhol, but I ran out of time!
Anyway, I won my own costume contest (despite saying I shouldn't be voted for!) so it was obviously a hit!
Enjoy...
