Yellow Duck Tape (Wal-Mart) $3.96
Reflective Silver Duck Tape (Wal-Mart) $3.96
Iron-On American Flag Applique (Wal-Mart) I think it was $1.99

After some online searching of firefighter costumes, etc. I decided on one stripe around the legs, two stripes around torso and 2 around the arms. I had to remove one of the arm strips on one arm to fit the American flag applique onto the shoulder. It was a fairly simple process. All I had to do was cut the duck tape to the size of the garment and rap it around. The silver duck tape I ripped in half the long ways to go down the center of the yellow. One tip learned:Do the iron ons BEFORE doing the duck tape on the arms because you have to turn the shirt inside out.
Wow, Rebekah!!! I would have never guessed you made this! Great job!

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this instructional thingy! I made this costume for a VBS we are having at our church! It was easy to make and really fun to make as well! It looks greaaaatt! Thank you so much again.
ReplyDeleteP.S.: A little tip is to put a book or something inside the shirt to give a hard edge and to get the tape to be loose on the shirt. Lol learn from experience ��
