I got the idea to be a Pac-Man family for Halloween about a month before the holiday.
Travis snapping secret pictures of me painting. We just used regular old acrylic paint to paint over the cardboard that Trav brought home from work.
Travis did all the measuring and plotting of the pieces after looking online at dimensions of the characters. He basically decided what one "pixel" equaled and then went from there. We used an x-acto blade to cut all of the pieces out.
Ready for their eyes which I traced from one pattern and then cut out and painted. That meant I had to do less measuring.
I hot glued the eyes to the fronts of the ghosts.
I punched holes at the tops of each character with my crop-a-dile (hole punch) and then strung some 8mm stretch jewelry cording through the holes and tied a bunch of knots to hold it in place.
Other than a few people thinking we were puzzle pieces the costumes were a hit.
Have a great day!!!!
