Make a Costume of a Street Sign that Says: WALL STREET

Of course, Wall Street is an actual street. So why not wear a Wall Street sign for a masquerade party or Halloween?

To make this costume:

1. Create a tubular costume for your body, resembling a street sign pole.

One way to do this would be to wrap yourself in a metallic fabric.

Or, build a body-length cylinder from cardboard or posterboard (the kind kids make presentations on in school), ensuring sufficient room to walk and also use your arms. Use spray paint for a metallic color.

2. Build the "Wall Street" top of the costume.

Use a cheap helmet as the basis for a head dress. Spray paint the helmet the same color as the body cylinder.

Using cardboard, spray paint the actual street sign saying Wall Street".

Hot glue the sign onto the helmet.

On the body of the cardboard tube, you may wish to paint "Occupied."
