Grape costume made of balloons
Our first suggestion for a homemade Halloween costume would be this colorful and “juicy” grape costume made from balloons. This DIY project requires minimal preparation and can be completed in under 30 minutes. The fruit disguise is suitable for both children and adults. The grape costume would also be part of onepretty group costumeappropriate for a theme party. In addition, the Halloween costume is made without any sewing.
For the grape costume made of balloons you need the following materials:
lila Langarmshirt
lila Hose
purple balloons (around 35 are necessary for one child)
green pipe cleaner
several small safety pins
First, the balloons have to be inflated and tied. In order for the individual grapes to look realistic, they should be of different sizes, but not too large. This was actually the most tedious part of this craft project. Now you need to attach the balloons to the top in a V shape.
Insert the safety pins through the opening of the balloon and then attach them directly to the front of the long sleeve shirt. Work carefully with the needles so that the balloons do not burst. Also cover the shoulder area with inflated balloons. Finally, bend the green pipe cleaner into a spiral and wrap one end around the balloon knot.

The resulting cardboard plate has a size of 200 x 50 cm. Then fold the plate into a basket. Measure the distance from the inside front of the wicker basket over your shoulder to the inside back of the basket.
Cut two straps out of the white ribbon and glue them to the inside of the wicker basket. Then inflate the 8 white balloons and attach them to the bottom of the basket as sandbags.
