Venom by a 6-year Old Boy
Intro: Venom by a 6-year Old Boy
I have been making my son’s Halloween costumes since he was 1. He has been a Lion in a circus tent (1), Bob the builder and his friend Lofty (2), Pokémon Go Trainer (3), Dragon turning into Elsa (4), and Rocket Raccoon piggybacking off of Groot (5). This year he wants to be Venom. To be honest, I had no clue when he told me his idea. Thanks for the almighty google to make this happened.
This time we decided to make the costume together. He made the request and even drew a design paper to show the details of the costume. We discussed every details along the way building up the costumes and of course watched a lot of YouTubers’ videos showing the professional way making Venom costumes. However we made this costume in a way appropriate for a 6-year-old boy skills. He did 75% of the costume including sewing, hot gluing, making homemade liquid latex and applying on the mask, and painting. I only helped giving him suggestions on the moving jaws and some of the hot glue (the eyes fell off several times)!
STEP 1: Homemade Muscle Suit

P.S. This costume glows in the dark! The eyes, teeth, and spider on the chest.
