This Meatballs and Spaghetti for both male and female costume idea came to me like magic. Actually Halloween was the next day and I was at home in my room when I just remembered that tomorrow was Halloween, so I was thinking “I don’t have any money, what am I going to do? “Then it hit me, not literally but you know what I mean. I could make a meatballs and spaghetti costume so I did and let me tell you it wasn’t easy but I managed to make it work. In the end it was worth it.
Equipment needed:
- 1.25 yards of 45-inch-wide red-checkered fabric
- skein off-white yarn
- hot-glue gun
- large, sturdy paper plate
- 8 small Styrofoam balls
- brown acrylic paint
- red acrylic paint
- small pot (fake)
Cutting The Fabric:
Cut a hole for the head in the center of a red-checkered tablecloth (or 1.25 yards of 45-inch-wide red-checkered fabric so that it can be worn like a poncho.
Making The Spaghetti:
Cut 1/2 skein off-white yarn into spaghetti-length pieces. With a hot-glue gun, glue them in swirls and bunches to a large, sturdy paper plate.
Did Somebody Order Meat Balls?
Paint 8 small Styrofoam balls with brown acrylic paint to resemble meatballs. Let dry, then glue 4 or 5 balls to top of spaghetti. Mix brown and red acrylic paint to make a tomato-sauce color; drip that over meatballs and spaghetti. Smear a little on the side of a small pot.
Gluing Everything Together:
- Glue the plate to the front of the tablecloth.
- Glue remaining meatballs to tablecloth where you like.
- Glue some strands of yarn to pot “hat”. Tie under chin if needed to keep pot on head.
