Contest-Winning DIY Floating Genie Costume

I created the rug out of foam board and reinforced it with thin strips of wood. I spray glued material and attached trim and tassels to finish off the look. I then stuffed pantyhose and put on genie costume bottoms that I purchased off of eBay. I attached gold shoes and a genie bottle. I purchased an additional costume and cut a hole in the bottoms attached to the carpet so I could fit through. There is a pillow glued to the rug to balance everything out. Everyone at work loved the costume. I found some inspirational ideas on Pinterest and created my own. I won first place in our company Halloween costume contest.
