Every year my oldest grandson asks me to make him his costume. So being the best Nana ever, according to him, of course I take on the challenge. 4 years ago we started with 2 Tales from sonic. But each year it gets more challenging. We’ve done Yeti Chomper, Bendi (last year). But this year was the hardest: Gatling Pea Shooter costume from Plants vs. Zombies.
I started out with the head, which is just a normal green pea shooter. I used bright green felt material. Cut in long pieces, like a beach ball. I used 3 bottles of fabric stiffener and a large balloon. To form the right size.
Then step 2 was the army helmet. Made with regular paper mache and news paper. I put plastic wrap on top of the stiffened head then drew out the shape and started forming the helmet. After it was just the right shape, size and was dry. I spray painted it black and hand painted the green over that. I cut out 5 golden stars from fabric foam and glued them on front. Then I sprayed a whole can of clear lacquer over the entire helmet. Attaching it with hot glue.
Finally I made 4 guns for the mouth out of paper towel rolls. I painted and added glitter to them. I attached all 4 in a diamond shape and placed them in the mouth.
Inside the head I added various sizes of foam until it fit his head perfect.
The costume part was just a basic coverall. The shoes and mittens are leaf shaped for the final touches.
