Homemade Glowing Jellyfish Costume

My 7 year old son loves ocean life and wants to be a marine biologist when he grows up. He decided he wanted a Homemade Glowing Jellyfish Costume this year, but he wanted it to glow as jellyfish glow under water. Well, I thought about what we could do, and I decided to make him a black light responsive costume that would envelope him and seem to float through the neighborhood.

We couldn't be happier with the results, and he looks so cool. He's a great kid with a thirst for knowledge and love of art. I took his idea and together we made what we hope to be a kid friendly, traffic stopping costume. We hope you enjoy it!

Thanks a lot!

I used a clear plastic dome umbrella and painted the underside with liquid laundry detergent as most are black light responsive. I then put saran wrap on it on the inside of the umbrella to keep the detergent on the umbrella and not my son. Then I added a portable black light to the inside pole of the umbrella and wa-lah... He was a smashing success, and I am so happy with the results.
