About this costume
Turn the lights off and you're the whole party - the glow-in-the-dark stick figure costume is a funny, easy Halloween costume idea for teens and adults headed to a nighttime party. EL-wire on a black base layer makes this one of the most eye-catching DIY Halloween costumes you can build in an afternoon.
DIY this look
The glow-in-the-dark stick figure costume is an easy DIY Halloween costume you can build in one evening with tape and wire.
- Wear all-black clothing as your base - the darker and plainer, the better.
- Tape the EL-wire kit into a stick-figure outline: head circle, torso line, arm and leg lines.
- Tuck the battery pack into a pocket and test it before you tape anything down permanently.
- Add glow face-paint last so your face reads as part of the figure in the dark.
