How To Make a Letter Costume:
Items Needed - Cardboard Box, Yarn, Paper Packing Tape, Tempera Paint, a Knife, and an attitude.
1. 2 Big Card-Board Letters (IDENTICAL IN SIZE - BELLY BUTTON TO NECK HIGH Proportion)
2. Put two holes on the tops of each letter: Tie a length of Yarn between them.
3. Sandwich in letters in front and behind of you. Or on your sides.
4. Tie together the letters with yarn and have the yarn act as a shoulder straps.
5. Wet paper packing tape and begin to tape together the sides of the letter to the width needed all around except for where you slide it on or off.
6. When the tape dries it becomes firm like cardboard.
7. Paint with Tempera or Acrylic paint.
8. Comfort is not important when wearing art.

So far, I know people who are bringing/ wearing these letters.
B, M, G, O, F, R, Y, W, I, U, N, & T
We need more letters!
Also, I was advised by Fuzzbeast to not have the letter go past your waist unless you think you can handle it on a bike.
