Getting Costumed :: Circus Strong Man


You'll need
1 cardboard tube from wrapping paper, paper towel, etc.
2 black balloons
white paint + a brush
metallic spray paint
rubber bands or elastic
wax 'stasche


Step 1 :: Spray the cardboard tube with metallic spray paint.  
Step 2 :: Paint numbers on the inflated balloons and let dry.
Step 3 :: Daisy chain together rubber bands.
Step 4 :: Tie one end of the rubber band to one of the balloons.  Pull the rubber bands through the tube and connect them to the other balloon on the other side.  You may need to use a wire hanger, the rubber bands need to be tight.
Step 5 :: Put on a striped shirt, red shorts, and a mustache.  Voila!








* I almost didn't post this costume idea because of Jordan's recent post.  I came up with this idea while on an airplane and I thought it was so crazy clever.  Then I landed and looked at my blog reader only to see my "crazy clever" idea done by another person.  Because I still love the idea - and no matter how hard I brainstormed I kept coming back to this costume  -  I decided to stick with it.
