Beau Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 My daughters school is having an Arts Week and on Thursday they are doing a 'fashion' parade. The theme for her class is deserts and/or oasis and she has decided she wants to dress up like a cactus! Now we can get green clothes but I just can't think what to use for the prickles. I only found one handmade costume searching on the internet which was a cardboard base, green paper, bubble wrap and tooth picks. I just don't think the tooth picks would be very suitable for school. Has anyone else got any clever ideas that won't take too long to do or be expensive or dangerous!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Matchsticks? Plastic paperclips kind of semi-opened up & stitched on? Thick string or wool like in the picture if I can attach it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
