Making Antennas for a Bumble Bee Costume

bumble bee By (Guest Post) If you're like me and you don't want to use pipe cleaners, you would rather use something that looked a lil bit more real, then do what I'm going to do. I'm going to buy thin, but strong, wire and if going to use a hat/hoodie, the wire is thin enough just to stick right though it and it won't make a hole. or if you're going to use a head band just wrap it around, and hot glue puff balls on them. Another reason you'll like wire better is because it's more durable and will stand up better then pipe cleaners.

You may want to use hot glue to make sure they stay on.

I actually got a plain black winter hat and boutght large pom poms (yellow and black) and hot glued them to the hat and then continued to stack about 4-5 thereafter. They were cute because they bobbled around and because of the hat being a little tighter than usual it made them stand up pretty well and plus I kept his head warm! I have apicture somewhere if you'd like :-) Posted on 10/27/2006 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Making Antennas for a Bumble Bee Costume By 2oma (126) Profile Contact Try the dollar store for the thingies that are on a head band that slips on the head-- then change them to bee looking. that sounds goofy-- hope it makes sense... You know the "look whos to" kind of thing-- Posted on 09/06/2006 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Making Antennas for a Bumble Bee Costume By mamajerry (Guest Post) When my oldest daughter was in 2nd grade, I made her a ladybug costume for Halloween. For the antennae, I took a hard plastic headband, took 2 black pipe cleaners and wound each one around the headband (just enough to hold it on) and hot glued them on the bottom to hold, then took 2 black spongy clown nose balls, cut a little slit in each and put some glue on the free ends of the pipe cleaners , then inserted the ends into the slits.

You can even attach "bug eyes to the front of the hood and the antennae a little further back. Or a girls headband with pipecleaner antennae attached to it.

Sew these to the costume. These pipe cleaners are available in craft stores /departments.
