8 Ft. Tall Stalk-Around costume

Step 10 Bulking it up: Frame base

The costume is half way done! Now it's time to bulk it up let's start at the base, this part of it is important, the bulkage at the base will give the costume a snug fit and it'll take a lot of the weight off you're shoulders. All you need to do is cut sections of pipe insulation the same length as the pipes themselves, then remove the adhesive backing and squeeze them together. The insulation around the shoulder wasn't able to stick together so I just pressed the adhesive backing to the actual pipes. I also started to run out of pipe insulation for the back so I just cut the rest of it into smaller sections.
