Barrel of Monkeys Costume

Fashioning a Barrel of Monkeys this Halloween required 8 pieces of red foam paper (cut with scissors), 2 plastic flower pots with the bottom cut (I used a knife - be careful!), suspenders, red hoodie, red gloves, red pants, red felt (for ears), red spray paint (for barrel and monkeys) and a whole lot of glue gun action and you too can have a barrel of fun creating this costume. It was definitely a stand only costume. Walking was easy because the suspenders kept the barrel up, bending over (like if you dropped a monkey) was however not so easy.
