In case there is any pregnant ladies out there looking for a last-minute costume, I thought I would share what I put together last night: a pregnant skeleton!
It was super easy, though a little time consuming. I bought some full-sheet label/sticky paper and drew all the bones I needed. The baby itself was a little tricky, but I found a picture on a mug that I thought looked good and just copied it freehand. Then, I just cut out the bones and sticked them to black clothes that I already had.
Just a few tips:
- I used scissors, which is what took most of the time (especially for the small baby bones and cut outs), but I bet if you had an exacto knife or some sort of scrapbooking thing, this would go a lot quicker.
- If you can, try to find sticky paper with lots of perforation on the back. And, when you are drawing your pieces, try to position them over the perforation so you don't go crazy trying to peel the backing off.
- Draw your bones on the back side of the sticky paper so that your pen/pencil marks don't show if you're not a perfect scissorist. And, don't forget that the picture will be reversed when you're drawing on the back side.
