The Updated and All-Inclusive Costume Thread

I agree, something modular that you can take apart for luggage and put together on site is ideal. A piece of canvas with a channel for string around the outside could work -- like a tire cover? Then use noodle foam or even something inflatable for the base.

As for a harness, attaching it to a lightweight vest or a basic backpack worn on your torso could work.

Also I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!

Definitely planning something like a tire cover with a drawstring (or elastic) once I get it figure out.

DH suggested something like a sandwich board style setup but I think I only want the target on the front if I can find really inexpensive brown tights and a shirt then my arms/legs/body can be the easel that holds the target

I was thinking you could use straws as arrows. It would be easy to hot glue some feathers (or felt cutouts that look like feathers) to the ends. My mom has a hot glue gun you could use to attach them to the costume the night before. (Ask me how I know.) Or I wonder if you could cut slits for them and tape them from the inside, if you don't want them "permanently" attached?

This wouldn’t quite use the tire cover method…

Could you create a slightly larger pocket on the outside of your canvas circle and slide part of a hula-hoop through it? However, I’m not sure if you could curl up a hula-hoop tight enough without bending it to fit in a carry-on.
