Giant Floating Bear Skull Costume!

Step 2Materials

This is only a rough guide and most of it is due to chance of whatever i found or had on me:

2 Long metals bars - you choose what height you want the head to be (place one end at the base of your spine in order to gauge)
A short section of metal bar to be used as the pin (all metal was found in a skip :p)
Cardboard (forraged fior)
Chickenwire or similar mesh to make your mask out of - mine was approx 70x110 cm ish (I paid money for this O_O)
A small carboard box about 20x10x40 cm
Coat hanger
Towel or other pelt like material (I went ahead and bought a towel before realising that it would've been cheaper going to a fabric shop u_u)
Weightlifting lumbar support belt - prefferably one with a pouch for putting inserts into. (Again i paid money for this O_O)
Random pice of fibreboard that fitted into said pouch.
Loo roll for the mache
PVA
Gaffer tape
Assorted knives and cutting impliments - hacksaw with metal blade or random snips for working with the bars. Wire cutters for the mesh
