This homemade costume for adults entered our 2015 Halloween Costume Contest.

A word from Vinnie, the 'Bingo Dauber' costume creator:

I saw a few photos of people doing this last year and thought I would give it a try. I use for poster boards and taped them all together. Then I wrapped the whole thing in red fabric . After that, I cut out Bingo Mania in white sticker letters and stuck them on the fabric. I also use six small Styrofoam balls, cut them in half and painted them to look like bingo balls. Finally, I cut out holes on the side for my arms to fit through as I taped the entire thing together in the back, so I have to crawl underneath to get into this outfit. And a small slit near the top for me to be see-through. Then I went to Walmart, and got a pink bouncy ball for the bingo topper . Plenty of red duct tape was used all the way around this. My local bingo hall is having a costume contest and I thought I would dress for the occasion.

I'd like to ask Vonnie a question about the top of the dauber, Please!

Sorry, i didn't see your comments earlier... I got the ball to stick to the top with colored duct tape. The same color as the fabric. Above the dabric, there's small cut outs that are circular... one is a little smaller that the top part where the dauber comes together and then one more that's smaller that THAT one one top of the first one... THEN just a small ball from Walmart that matches the color and duct tape it

Trying to attempt this. Having such a hard time with the last step the smaller size circles. How to you get them to stick to the main part without leaving a large gap?
