Wolverine claws on the cheap

So my son wanted to be Wolverine for Halloween. Well, for everyday really, but particularly for Halloween. Easy enough with today's selection of ready-made costumes. So off to Wallymart for a cool costume. No problem they had one, nice enough. Cool mask, but what?! no claws?!! My son was elated (at the sight of the costume) and then deflated (realizing there were no claws).
"No problem," I said " Dad'll fix it.".
Sure I would, but how? I didn't see any at the store, and even if they were there, they would probably be the same price as the costume itself. I am too cheap for that. But I'd made a promise. No worries, how hard could it be?
Turns out, not hard at all, if you have ten minutes and about four bucks, I will show you how I did it. (with leftovers, and why do I keep all this crap....)

Step 1 Stuff you need

First thing to do when you are in a maker fix, get some inspiration. I often get mine on the cheap from the 1$ store. So that's where I went and once again they came through for me.
I purchased two Kruegar type gloves and was on my way.
You will also need two of these, they are a high ticket item and rang up at 2$ a pop. 4$. dang. Oh well.

Other things you will need are

- a marking device (sharpies are nice)
- some plastic (I had some polystyrene, because I have a lot of junk, but anything lite and a little flexible will do, flexible binders come to mind.)
- some clothing elastic band. (I had a strip of nice subtle underwear band)
- hot glue
- a drill
- a tracing of your child's hand (or the hand that they are for)
