Shredder Costume

My son wanted to be Shredder from the TMNT's. I made a vest with cardboard and attached a piece of purple silk materials to the back of it with hot glue. The spikes for the costume were made out of cardboard and chrome spray paint, I also attached black elastic to the arm guards for easy removal. The helmet was the hardest part of this costume. I took strips of cereal box and molded them around my sons head for a base. Then I used paper mache for the rest and then painted the final product. My son loved his costume and He certainly caught the attention of all TMNT lovers that night!!
