Charlie Brown Ghost Costume

Step 7 Cut and glue the holes

Using the large end of the tapered glass as the template we drew out over 35 circles on the back of the black velveteen skirt material we got at the thrift store. There wasn't any calculation for how many holes we needed. Once we drew out that many it seemed like it would be more than enough.

We then cut out all the circles, laid out the costume on a flat surface and started gluing them down in a random fashion. Our flat surface area was smaller than the full costume which made it a little difficult to tell if the distribution of holes was looking good. It also meant we had to glue holes in shifts. We would glue about a quarter of them down and then wait for them to dry and then glue down another section.

If we ever make another one we will definitely make enough room on the floor to layout all the holes before gluing them down but all in all we are very happy with the final result.

Now to start work on a prop rock.
