Sushi Roll Costume

This is my son Oliver wearing his homemade sushi roll costume. After seeing a different, adorable version of a sushi roll costume I just knew I had to try one out myself.

To make the roll I cut out two large cardboard circles. I cut out and painted pieces of foam for the fish, vegetables, and avocado. The masago was made out of little styrofoam balls that were painted and the rice was packing peanuts. This was all attached to the cardboard with a hot glue gun. I then cut strips of foam for the shoulder straps and wrapped them with satiny fabric to resemble seaweed and hot glued them on. The same fabric was also added to the back sides of each cardboard circle, as well as the sides. The wasabi and ginger were made out of felt and sewn onto his beanie. And voila! Wore a black shirt and leggings underneath and the costume is complete!
