Cardboard !
I arranged from my work 2 big Cardboard - Used for recycling purposes.
Cut It in Two
Strengthening It Via an Additional Cardboard
Found a Cardboard tube from the place i work .
Strengthening It
Wrapped it with the Cardboard , it is a lot of work , prepare yourself
Apply Duck Tape on All Sides
Taped the entire costume with it , this must be strong in order to keep it from tearing apart
Plexiglas Time!
Bought a 2x1 m Plexiglas , cut it according to the desired size .
Plexiglas Cutting!
Used the Dremel 3000 tool to cut it.
Amzing tool , very accurate and easy to use

Cutting Finished
Created a 20x 70 cm cut for us to breath! mui importante
Add Additional Cut Above for Circulation of Air
Add LED Lights!
We must put something special in it aren't we ?
I took a 12v 7amp Battery ,some wires , small switch , and a 1.5 meter of LED Strip.
Came out very nice!

Soldering Time!
Solder all the wires to the LED strip
Battery Placement
The battery was a major issue.
I did not know where to place it , it is heavy , and my girlfriend is not quite a body builder ( Thank god )
So eventually i found a great solution , i would hang it on the back upper side of the costume, that way you can balance your self with it , and moreover it cannot fall

This Is the Straps That I Used
Add Straps to Hold the Costume
The Costume will "sit" on the shoulders .
I prepared two straps that will hold the entire costume , and will be hanged on you.
Like Sliix !

Wrap It With Wallpaper
I took from our supermarket long wallpaper , it`s free for use so i took advantage of it.
It took forever to wrap it.
But it came out a good color and gave it a real look of a candy machine
