Last was the finishing touches! We added more black and yellow ribbon to the shoulders. Now it was time for fitting! We turned the vests inside out and pinned them down the sides to fit each person snugly. We wanted to add the buttons first so when we fitted the vest we had everything situated. Next we added three gold buttons we also got from Joann to the front. We wanted a clean, polished look and we bought a sewing machine for our Princess Run costumes so we wanted to get that to use! Next we hemmed everything but the sides of the fabric. One we cut down the middle and cut a V neck line into. That left us with two “back pieces” essentially. Then we folded it in half and laid it on top of the fabric, also folded in half. I cut off the collar and folded in the bottom. Luckily I found a vest type shirt at Marshall’s for $10. I tried looking for patterns online, but we are all different shapes and I didn’t want to have to buy muslin as well to make the pattern. I also coated the yellow ribbon in glow in the dark paint! Next we added a line of dark sparkle ribbon to the center and then on the outside of that put two lines of yellow ribbon. That stuff works for just about every project! We also reinforced the entire inside with duct tape, just in case. We used a glue gun to attach the fabric to the cardboard and to attach the top to the sides. We started with the top of the hat and then the side. We decided it would be easier to attach the fabric to the pieces and then attach them together. Once we had a decent size circle we curled in the edges to make that that top and cut the bad for the outside of the hat. We made some pretty large circles to start and had to slowly cut them down to fit. We didn’t want to spend a lot of money on these costumes so we got fabric and ribbon from Joann and used a cardboard box for the hats. So we decided we were all going to be bellhops! We google searched images and decided to make modifications to the uniform for running purposes. At first we tried to think of Disney villains that came in 4’s but really couldn’t come up with anything. Kristen mentioned how she wanted to dress as a Tower of Terror bellhop. Two of my friends, Jill and Kristen, decided they wanted to do a Disney run and signed up for the 10 miler with us. Yay! I finally got to go back to Disney this past weekend for the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror 10 Miler!Īs with the last two Disney races we knew we wanted to make costumes for the run.
