Jellyfish Costume

These are some images of how the umbrella Jellyfish Costume has been made by other people in the past. This has helped me think of other materials to use that would be easy to source and not too expensive. The seethrough umbrella seems to be the most common choice as it reflects the translucent nature of the Jellyfish itself.

Bubble wrap is a really cheap material to use and it can also be dyed any colour and it still keeps its translutent effect. It also takes paint really well and the bubbles create a cool texture like tenticles.

Another idea is to use the thin ribbon that is commonly used for adding detail to wrapped gifts. This would be really cheap and the shiney effect would look brilliant to add some glitz to the cotumes. Its also really easy to curl with a pair of sissors which I would of course supervise the children to do themselves or if need be I could do this myself at the end of the class. These long stripes of curly ribbon would look really effective as tenticles on both the t-shirts and the umbrellas.
