Edward Scissorhands Costume ...On the cheap.

Step 4 Making the "clothes".

   
    It's basically divided in parts. You need to make pants and a shirt out of the plastic bags. How? Easy. Just put a plastic bag around one leg and tape the ends, making sure the plastic bag is tightly attached to your leg, but still a little loose so you can take it out.

    Make the same thing to the other leg and then make a couple of plastic "underwear" so you cover all of the legs. The arms and the abdomen use the same method, but for the upper part of the body, meaning lower neck and shoulders, you need to cut a hole out of a bag so you can fit your head and cover the remaining part of your body.

    Every separate part is taped BUT you don't want to tape together the abdomen, arms and shoulders parts because it will be impossible to take off. Unless you're making this "on-the-fly", ready to go to your party, then don't tape everything together.

    As for the pants, it's OK to tape the underwear and leg parts together since it's very easy to take off and put on again. Remember to tape every end of the bags of each part at least twice to avoid ruptures, triple tape if you must.


NOTE: If you chose the Black Metallic Fabric method, then you can sew some pants and a shirt out of the fabric, it's easier that way.
