Where the Wild Things Are

I love the book and the movie! I wanted to do something that honored them both!

Solid Coated Wire (12 gauge)

Step 1 Fatten up

I needed to be bigger, fatter and just more huggable.
So I made a fat shirt and fat pants.
Basically foam hot-glued over Lycra in an "armor" type fashion. All you need is a dummy to fill both the pants and shirt so the Lycra is stretched when you hot glue it. If not, the foam will a rip off when you put the suit on.
I used a duck tape dummy and thanks to ModMischief I knew how to make one!

I wish more people saw this one. There are other Wild Things costumes on this site, but the others have only a fraction of the attention to detail that yours does.
