Original Homemade Dinosaur Costume

I began this Dinosaur Costume with a dinosaur mask that I got from the Children’s Museum. Using black foam core I attached a long spiky, bumpy tail. The wonderful thing about foam core is that you can create bumps with heat, can paint it, and can glue onto it. Around the shoulders are more spikes and bumps.

For the claws I molded Fimo and hot glued them to black work gloves, to which I also attached more spiky things. Ribbons of glue also add texture. A final dab of paint goes to finish the project. Underneath it all, I got some flannel pj’s at the thrift store and dyed them black. A great hit, until someone stepped on his tail.
