Ok so im trying to make an Oogie Boogie costume (see Nightmare before Christmas for ref.) and I think Ive not quite realised how much work it will be until now (stupid me). My original plan was to simply cut and sew starfish shapes and weight down with a papier-mache head, but now it has occured to me that this will no longer work. My next plan would have been to get hold of an inflatable costume -you know those big santas of sumo costumes; and attach the fabric to that but now ive come to understand (thank you mum ¬.¬ ) that this isnt the right shape for oogie boogie so now im stuck between a rock and a hard place. Im thinking i could go back to the original starfish design but pad out with polyester filler and use wires to get the shaping that i want.
