Padding Shoulders for Frankenstein Halloween Costume

Video Transcript

"I'm Matt Cail and on behalf of Expert Village, I'm here to show you how to make Frankenstein's monster. Before we're going to put on our Frankenstein blazer, we can also do a couple more things. This is to really consider the physic of your particular Frankenstein's monster. You may already be a really huge big dude. If that's the case, that's great. You're ready to put on the blazer and rock and roll. If you're not if you're somebody who's more intermediate or just like me, not that big, then you may want to consider some padding to have underneath the blazer to give you a little bit more Frankenstein heft. This can be accomplished in a number of ways. First off, I actually like to have the plastic air pocket padding. This works really well. Basically what I do is I'll put this up underneath here on the shoulders and then I'll transparent tape it. Usually packing tape works particularly well. Other materials I've seen used are newspaper and also shredded general office paper too. Shredded office paper makes a bit of a mess and it can tend to come out your arm sleeves. It won't really maintain its shape. Newspaper can be a little lumpy. While that's not entirely about effect for Frankenstein, he is dished together from various body parts. Maybe things won't quite match. I particularly like the plastic air pocket padding. It gives a nice uniform shape. It's easy to get the same effect on both sides. It'll make for a really good hefty Frankenstein's monster."
