Thank you for the compliments!
You are correct, it's foam wrapped in blue fabric. No, i did not put a seam in the back for entry. I knew that with the foam being rolled like that it would want to burst the seam constantly. Plus, it wouldn't stay perfectly round if you did that as well. Hence the reason as well that i staggered the foam joint away from the fabric seam to add more rigidity. It was really easy for him to get in/out of it. Just put his arms straight up and i slid it over him.

If your in cold climates it'll keep them nice and warm as well !!

The bowl came from Wal-Mart. We happend to be going through the halloween section and i spotted it. Supposed to be a giant candy bowl.

The bowl was attached with Velcro so it could be removed if needed.

It's standard white foam wrapped with blue fabric that was adhered with spray glue.

Letters are cut out and applied with spray adhesive.

The foam was bought at hobby lobby.

Where did you get the fabric at, and what color did you use? On the NERF lettering what font did you use? Thank you in advance.
