Static Cling Costume

Instead of a scary Halloween costume, consider a hilarious visual pun for your son or daughter this year. Follow these simple directions to create a Static Cling costume -- there's no sewing required.

Static Cling Costume

Time: 30 minutes

Effort: Quick and easy - no sewing required

Materials:

  • A dark shirt and matching dark pants.
  • Double stick tape, safety pins, or glue
  • Several lighter colored laundry items (socks, undies, ties, hankies, bibs, etc.)

Instructions: Randomly attach the laundry items onto your outfit. Get creative: A sock on the sleeve, undies on the shoulder, a tie stuck down the side of the leg, and a bib on the backside!

Other Details: Tease hair with a brush and spray with hairspray to get that "electrical shock" look. Add dryer sheets and lint.
