This shows you how to make a simple, respectable, and casual Dr. Octopus costume. I've seen some amazing "Doc-Oc" costumes out there, and while this costume lacks their pizazz, it does allow you to casually walk through doorways and hang with your friends without the worrying about large arms hitting people or knocking things over. This costume good for Halloween, but great for crowded scifi/comic conventions.
The best part about this instructable is it made from ALUMINUM CANS!! This is because recycling is very important to me, and also, there are few things as cheap as aluminum cans.

You'll Need:
Materials:
Soda cans (14 should do, but you may need more if you have a short coat and need longer arms)
String/twine
Trench coat, or any coat that goes down to your knees
Googles or sunglasses
Spiderman Action figure (Optional, but I think you want to use one anyway. You can probably find a cheap used one at a flee market, or Comic convention)
Silver metallic spray paint
Scotch tape
Tools:
Tin Snips or a pair of kitchen shears you don't mind trashing
A square Ruler (an adjustable one is helpful, but not necessary)
A punching tool (I used an Awl, but a nail and hammer'll work just fine)
Hot Glue Gun
Permanent marker

You know, you can get aluminum cans to look neat like that by sanding them instead of spraying them with paint... Just a tip from one recycler to another...
Nice Instructable, I think I'm going to try it.
