Introduction:
Finding a costume for any occasion can be extremely difficult. Some may not like to buy into the idea of Halloween turning into a holiday for the benefit of corporations, others may be opposed to the throw-away nature of the holiday, and many may just want an original home made costume. This costume was the result of a school project. The students designed and built marine themed costumes out of cardboard. The costumes are cost-effective and "green." Each group was required to choose a theme for their line of costumes. This squid costume was created for a line of invertebrate costumes.
