Step 2: Open glow necklaces. Crack and shake to activate.


Step 3: Bottom
Use packing tape to secure two necklaces side by side, running down the front of the hoodie. Split apart at the bottom to form legs.

Make a loop at the bottom of two more necklaces to form feet. Attach the leg/feet sticks using packing tape, overlapping where the torso split off.

Step 4: Top
Tape one necklace down each arm, overlapping in the middle above the chest.

Use necklace "clasp" pieces to join two necklaces and use this long length the make a circle large enough to encircle the opening of the hoodie, taping the overlap the extra to the sides.

Attach to clothes with packing tape.

  1. Works even better with the face painted black. I can see a bit of his face reflecting the light from the glowsticks, and the effect would be more dramatic even with the lights on.

    1. There's a great idea. I'm personally concerned about the chemicals in highly pigmented face paint but a ski mask might be a good alternative as well
