DIY Hallowe'en: Skeleton

Xeni Jardin 12:02 pm Sun Oct 31, 2010

From the Boing Boing DIY costume thread, gammablog points us to this gorgeous skeleton costume and explains,

The arms are operated by a lever at the shoulder joint. The elbows and hands are made springy with piano wire. The lower body is a skeleton grabbed from Google images, applied to 1/4 inch plywood and jointed with bicycle inner tube rubber. The jaw is operated similarly to the arms. All for the Greenwich Village Halloween Parade tonight.
