How to Make a Ben 10 Four Arms Costume
"Ben 10" is a popular children's cartoon about a boy named Ben who can transform into any alien form. Each of Ben's alien forms has its own unique set of powers, and, although Ben is a bit mischievous, he uses his powers primarily to help others. "Ben 10" costumes are not hard to come by, but not all of Ben's alien forms are available in costume. For instance, one of the series most popular alien forms is Four Arms, and it can be difficult to find a Four Arms costume to purchase. Fortunately, it is easy to make a Ben 10 Four Arms costume at home. In fact, you don't really need any crafting ability to make a costume that will impress the masses.

Cut a strip of black felt that is the same length as the white T-shirt from neck to hem and glue it directly down the front middle. Cut another piece of black felt in a half circle to fit around the T-shirt collar and glue it in place on front. Then cut two more strips of black felt for the shoulders and glue them in place.

Cut the sleeves off the red sweatshirt. Sew them to the sides of the T-shirt a few inches below the arms of the T-shirt. Stuff the sweatshirt arms with old crumpled up newspaper. Take one pair of the red gloves and fill them with crumpled newspaper too. Sew one to the cuff of each of the sweatshirt arms. These are the extra arms for the Ben 10 Four Arms costume.

Cut the fingers off the black gloves so they are fingerless gloves. Put one pair over the red stuffed gloves on the extra pair of arms. You will wear the other pair on your hands over top the other pair of red gloves. Stretch gloves work best.
