Kiwi as Vanna White in Wheel of Fortune
Costume type: | Costumes for Pets |
Category: |
This homemade costume for pets entered our 2016 Halloween Costume Contest.
A word from Janet, the 'Vanna White and Wheel of Fortune' costume creator:
Kiwi, my little 12 year old Pug, is Vanna White of Wheel of Fortune fame. We came up with the idea by watching "America's Game" nightly! The puzzle board is constructed from wood and the "solution" was designed in PowerPoint, printed, laminated and dry mounted. We carved out blanks and the "E's" actually slide into place using a lattice fence track channel that was recessed a bit -- and the E's get slid by pulling a stick, right after I ask the judges if they'd like to buy a vowel! The wheel actually spins too -- it's constructed using a plastic cake layer support, metal fixtures for the stoppers, the wheel top with dollar amounts was laid out in PowerPoint, all atop a lazy Susan which is then stacked using a couple of round disks of wood and another plastic cake layer -- and of course it's bedazzled with some jewels for a little glitz.
We become adhesive experts this year -- testing which glue adheres plastic to wood, wood to metal, metal to plastic. Be careful and read the label -- it really does matter -- particularly with plastic and Styrofoam -- it melts!
Kiwi's dress is sewn using a beautiful cotton fabric and sequins, of course!
We wish you Happy Halloween -- free of bankrupts with lots of free spins!
