How to Create a Universe Costume

Everyone will see stars when you walk into the party wearing this celestial costume.

Things You'll Need

• Black Form-fitting Dresses
• Black Headbands
• Black Hosiery
• Black Women's Dress Shoes
• 3 Packages Self-adhesive Glow-in-the-dark Stars
• Glitter
• Metallic Gold Or Silver Christmas Garlands
• Superglue
• Body Glitters

Instructions

1. Lay your dress out and stick glow-in-the-dark stars all over it, front and back.

2. Glue several stars to a headband.

3. Put on your dress carefully, then put on your headband.

4. Apply glitter liberally to your face, neck, hands and hair.

5. Unwind the star garland (a silver or gold Christmas garland) and, using a small safety pin, pin it from the inside to the side of your dress's neckline. Then, starting at your neck, unwind it and wrap it around yourself in a diagonal fashion so that it winds down your body. When you reach the bottom of your dress, pin it from the inside again.

6. Stand in front of the mirror with the light on, then turn it off and admire the effect.

Tips & Warnings

• If you're worried about your stars coming off and not about ruining your dress, you can sew the stars on instead, making a stitch around each corner of the star.

• If you have any sun, moon or star jewelry, be sure to wear it.

• Make sure to buy superglue that doesn't stick to skin (check the packaging). Otherwise, you may end up with stars glued to your hands as well as to your headband.
