DJ Lance Rock Costume

So I've been working on Preston's costume a lot lately, the stripes aren't on yet but they will be shortly. The hat still needs to be sprayed orange but for the most part it is done!

Making costumes is AWESOME!

I made a DJ Lance Rock costume for my husband and this is how I did it!

I got the shirt HERE its the Gildan No Pocket Long Sleeve T-Shirt - Safety Colors in orange, and the pants HERE in the mandarin. I didn't know if they would match until they actually got to my house. And they TOTALLY did and I was so excited!

I went to the fabric store and bought white and gold felt, the iron on bonding tape, white flex fur, and orange fabric paint (to make the fur orange). I couldn't find orange fur any where!
I made the stripes on the shirt and pants out of the felt, (I made a pattern for the shirt stripes out of news paper so they would all be the same) cut them out (I put masking tape down the middle of the shirt to make sure it would be straight) and simply ironed them on. I cut out a long white stripe of felt for the belt which was then just tied on.

The hat was kind of a trial and error I just cut out the semi-circle shape and sewed it together. I had to cut it down a couple of times but it was pretty easy. As for the star shape I just cut it out of cardboard painted it and sewed it on like a button.

And the glasses you can find at any costume store.

I think I did an awesome job with his boom box, if I say so myself.
I just took a box spray painted it silver and then made the front out of colored paper.

This is my favorite his belt buckle!

I printed ROCK in a box off on to card stalk, added glue and gold glitter then folded the bottom and top behind and glued it together in the back so that I could slide the felt belt through it.

This is how it turned out!
