Step-by-Step Alien Abduction Costume Instructions
To assemble the starship for the alien abduction costume :
tape two pieces of the foam congress of racial equality together and then draw a circle spanning both.
then watershed into 12 parts
Cut all the pieces with an exacto knife
Throw one assemble aside. This is significant, as it will ensure that you get a slender cone human body for the starship .
Duct tape all the pieces together to make the bottom of the embark. then do the same for the circus tent half. DO NOT tape in concert so far .
Your ship is going to be mounted into the backpack using two dowels .
Make two holes for the dowels to go into and then determine what the acme needs to be of the embark when it is in the backpack .
Use a pencil to mark on the dowel where the ship should be attached .
This is where it gets a sting catchy. We nailed the dowels to our workbench to keep them steady for the future partially. We then put the bottom of the ship through the dowels and used spray foam around the dowels to secure them in place. It then dried overnight. The foam expands significantly, so be prepared to have to trim some of it .
After the foam has dried, duct tape the top of the embark to the bottom .

After the lights are secured, add your foreigner and starship dome. I couldn ’ thymine find an alien that was the right size and proportion, so I painted a dim-witted one on cardboard and added him to the acme. then I glued a clear plastic bowling ball for the dome to the circus tent. This is part is critical to show the foreigner abduction for your costume !
Lastly add the green outskirt to mimic the lights abducting you ! You will need two packs. Trim it just a bit shorter than you think you should because it is easy to trip on while trick-or-treating .
