This is a guide on how to make a space-themed dress. It's cheap and variable for your individual needs.*
I made this for a "....... in Space!" themed party. I was Space in Space, so I made this as a sort of party dress!
The techniques involved in making it are extremely easy to catch on to, and I'm sure you will know most already, if not all. Good luck!
*I used a dress, but you could mod this Instructable to fit individual clothing pieces as well.

You will need:
- a black dress
- star garland
- spray paint*
- stencil paper
- wooden stars**
- X-acto knife
- safe cutting surface
- black marker
- newspaper
Optional (last step):
- makeup
- hair elastics
All of these things are very easily acquired at art supply stores, or in your own home. I got my dress from Goodwill.
* A note about spray paint:
I used normal spray paint in glow and metallic. The glow paint sprays clear but glows in the dark. The metallic is silver. You can probably find fabric spray paint if you're worried about the paint coming off in the wash, but I've found that normal spray paint stays on fine - just make sure you wash the garment inside-out. You can also use different colored spray paints. I used glow-in-the-dark paint because the event I was wearing it to had black lights and was, well, in the dark. Be creative with it! Some spray paints also require a flat screwdriver to open.
** A note about wooden stars:
I found this bag of wooden stars for about $1.26, and there are quite a few stars. They're also useable for other things. You could spray paint the stars as well (an advantage of having normal spray paint) and make the smaller ones into jewelry.
If you can't find (or are unwilling to buy) wooden stars, you can just print out pictures from the internet and trace those. I like wooden stars because they're inexpensive and stable.
