Coolest Deviled Egg Costume

Deviled Egg!
We loved the deviled egg pun and thought it would be a cute costume! We made this costume by paper macheing the egg on top of a 24"balloon that we bought at a party store.
We used 2 parts Elmer's glue to 1 part water and cut up strips of a old phone book. We did 4 layers and when it was done we painted it with interior flat white latex paint about 3 coats.
Then we cut out the arm leg and neck holes. We cut the neck holes jagged and then rounded them off so they weren't sharp! The rest are purchased from the same party store a red cape, a red unitard, devil horns and a pitch fork. we also added the classic old fashioned devil mustache and goatee face paint.
Hint - Our daughter Hated putting it on over her head so we ended up cutting it open up the back so she put it on like a smock and then we used white gaffers tape to hold the back closed all hidden by the cape.
