Glowing Stick Man

This was a fun costume to make for a school dress up day for L. We bought the black onesie from Amazon and then got the lights in a shop in our local shopping centre which has sadly since closed down. You could probably find the lights easily enough online however – you need wire cable LED lights. We chose blue but other colours are available. The lights come with a battery pack which is very handy. Having checked they were working I got to work with the glue gun, gluing the light strip onto the onesie’s arms, legs, along the zipper line and around the hood. Once the glue had set my son tried it on and once it was dark the fun really began – we had a great laugh taking videos of him moving in the dark! Thankfully the lights lasted for his dress up day in school but soon after that they became quite tempermental before breaking altogether!
