8 Ft. Tall Stalk-Around costume

Step 3 Building the frame: chest mount

Now that you have your shoulder pieces you'll need to make the chest portion of the costume, To start take one of the shoulder pieces and attach it to a section of pipe, Then cut the pipe to about mid torso length as shown in the picture(mine ended up being around 11 inches) you'll need two pipes this length. Now cut a smaller section of pipe to connect the two shoulder pieces together (picture 3 & 4) connect them together to form the front portion, To form the back portion do the same thing you did with the front except cut the pipes that extend down to just above hip level (it ended up being around 14 inches) , this adds extra stability. You have now created the base of the costume!
