The Solar System Costume

This is my 6 year old son Miles who is in love with outer space and the solar system. (This is his costume from last year.) I had never made a costume before, but when I couldn't find a solar system costume, I decided to make one. I bought a thin yellow construction hat, some bendable craft wire, glow in the dark planets, and glow in the dark stars that I glued onto a black t-shirt. I even had Miles' Dad install an LED light with a switch inside of the construction hat so it glowed like the sun. It was a huge hit on Halloween night. Many people told us it was the best costume they had seen all night and many asked to take his picture :o)
