Homemade Halloween Tree Costume

Homemade Halloween Tree Costume

I made the Homemade Halloween Tree Costume out of Great Stuff foam spray, coat hangers and spray paint. I first made a cylinder mold with cardboard putting cardboard in the arm holes to keep them open. Then attached wax paper to the cardboard. I then began spraying horizontal lines of foam around the mold, leaving space in between each one to allow for expansion. Then repeating the process till the tree was covered.

Then I gently pulled the cardboard and wax paper out of the foam mold. I attached coat hangers and lightly covered them with spray foam. Once the foam was dry. I spray painted it with regular and textured paint. I added a bird's nest with two little birds that I painted black. I added glittered fake leaves and real Spanish moss. There are also two red bat eyes in the side of the tree (not pictured).

I attached two red Christmas lights to a piece of Styrofoam that I painted black.

The costume is actually pretty durable. The foam on the branches did crack slightly from my daughter going through door ways as the costume is pretty wide. After I was finished with the costume I thought it would make a good stage prop. Let me know how it turns out. Also, I lined the inside with black fabric from an old sheet I had with a hot glue gun because my daughter complained that it was itchy when she wore it.
