Edward Scissorhands Costume

This is my son, Finn. The costume us made of pleather and belts that were scavenged from the local thrift stores. The hands are made from plastic knives that are mounted on a wooden dowel. Half the knives are set and the other half are free-moving. The moving knives are attached to the fingers of black knit gloves to allow the wearer to open and close thw "scissors." Plastic scissor handles are attached to the knives to complete the scissor effect.
