Directions
Step 1: Put on your black clothes
Step 2: Open glow necklaces. Crack and shake to activate.
Step 3: Bottom
Use packing tape to secure two necklaces side by side, running down the front of the hoodie. Split apart at the bottom to form legs.
Make a loop at the bottom of two more necklaces to form feet. Attach the leg/feet sticks using packing tape, overlapping where the torso split off.
Step 4: Top
Tape one necklace down each arm, overlapping in the middle above the chest.
Use necklace "clasp" pieces to join two necklaces and use this long length the make a circle large enough to encircle the opening of the hoodie, taping the overlap the extra to the sides.
Attach to clothes with packing tape.
Step 5: Glow Baby, Glow!

Works even better with the face painted black. I can see a bit of his face reflecting the light from the glowsticks, and the effect would be more dramatic even with the lights on.
ReplyDeleteThere's a great idea. I'm personally concerned about the chemicals in highly pigmented face paint but a ski mask might be a good alternative as well
