Homemade Fish Tank Costume

Homemade Fish Tank Costume

One fish. Two Fish. Red Fish. Blue Fish. I have wanted to be an aquarium for quite some time not and I finally made one!

Materials:
-Big Box
-Blue transparent material (cellophane)
- Paper fish
-Fishing line
-Snorkel
-Goggles
-Flippers

First, I had to find an appropriate box. I looked all around and finally my local appliance store gave me a dishwasher box. I cut most of the sides out, leaving only a small border. I covered the border with silver duct tape. Next, I bought an long roll of blue cellophane. I cut squares slightly bigger than the holes in the box and taped them into the inside behind the edges. For the fish, I printed some off my computer and picked some more up at my local craft store. The plant is actually from an old fish tank.

Finally, I got together all the swim accessories I could find and jazzed up the costume.

Caution: Walking with flippers can be dangerous. Just wear them for the picture. I learned this the hard way.

How did you attach the fish to the cellophane? tape or glue? If glue, what type did you use?

Thanks!

I like this one a lot! Very cool. And when you want to get outta the box you can just be a scuba diver.
