Just 17 easy (lol) steps!
In the summer of 2014, I was struck by a crazy idea: I wanted to make a Guess Who? couples costume for Halloween.
And not just the simple Guess Who? costume that people have been doing for a while... but one with wearable game boards. And moveable pieces.
It was ambitious, sure, but Halloween is My Thing so I figured I could find a way.
Eighteen months later I'm happy to report that I did, in fact, find a way.
The first challenge I faced was making the game pieces, but that seemed doable. The major real challenge was figuring out how to make the boards wearable. After struggling to figure out how to attach straps to thin boards and then make the oversized boards stay balanced, I finally had a breakthrough: I should model the boards/straps after a popcorn vendor costume. I called my mom (as I'm wont to do when faced with a costume construction dilemma), made a few sketches, stood in line at Michaels for approximately 90 minutes, sprinted through Home Depot, and then got to work.
