How to Make an Iceman Costume

Things You'll Need

• Blue shiny Spandex shirt and pants or unitard
• Metal square belt buckle
• Light blue rhinestone
• Superglue
• Shiny blue material
• Scissors
• Light blue face paint
• Makeup sponge

Instructions

1. Apply superglue to the back of the rhinestones. Press the rhinestones onto the belt buckle and cover the front completely. Let the rhinestones dry for between seven and 10 minutes before continuing. If you do not wish to use individual rhinestones, look for stick-on sheets.

2. Put on the pants or unitard. Measure a piece of blue fabric to go around the waist. Cut the fabric to the proper length by 3 inches wide. Apply superglue to the underside of one edge of the belt buckle. Press one end of the fabric strip into the superglue. Hold it in place for 15 seconds.

3. Put on the costume. Tie the other end of the belt around the loop on the belt buckle.

4. Dip the makeup sponge into blue paint. Paint your face blue. Spray your hair with the blue hair coloring spray.
