Coolest Fish Aquarium Costume

I made this costume using 2 boxes, one to fit my upper body and the other for my head. I adhered a black table cloth to both boxes in black, cutting the table cloth to shape the box. I cut out 3 sides on the top of the box using a box knife, I then adhered black electrical tape to the front of the box and sides to give it that Fish Tank look. I glued small white rock to the bottom of the tank itself, purchased at goodwill for .25 cents.

I purchased 7 “cat toys” (the fish that are dangling) that were sewn to the top of the box with fishing wire. I bought 2 rubber balls that have the look of an anemone. I then glued a Finding Nemo and Dori to the top of the white rocks which I purchased at the Dollar Tree.

There is also a $1 light at the top of the tank to give it that glowing effect. The blue tint is tissue paper that I bought at the Dollar Tree as well… I used a snorkel mask and held a fish net.

Total cost for this costume was about $16.00
