Circus Strongman Costume

This is my son Oliver in his homemade circus strongman costume. The muscle shirt was made out of two layers of stretchy, nude fabric sewn together with a couple layers of batting in between. The jumpsuit was made from striped spandex and metallic, gold fabric. The belt is made out of an elastic band. The barbell was fashioned out of a gift wrap cardboard tube attached to two bouncy balls with black Gorilla tape. Then the entire thing was spray painted with black chalkboard paint and hand painted with the weight.
