Ms.Frizzle and The Magic School Bus Costume

My best friend and I are wearing the costume. We decided to make the costume because it was one of our favorite childhood books. The bus took over 12 hours to make and includes operating lights in the eyes and bus lights. The structure is made entirely of cardboard and the various design elements are made from paper. The bus also has rocket boosters made out of tissue paper and paper bowls. Ms. Frizzle's costume includes saturn earrings and shoe appliques along with a solar system hand painted model headband. On her dress are felt shapes that were hand cut. This costume is 99% made by hand. The blue dress is the only item that was found. We used the book, Magic School Bus Lost in the Solar System, as a reference for both costumes to help us with the design. We hope you enjoy our blast from the past and as Ms.Frizzle would say, "Take chances, make mistakes, get messy!".
