Thread: Plug and Socket Costume Help

Tweet

My husband and I are planning to go as a Plug and Socket for halloween this year so I was hoping to get some brainstorming help as to how we're going to build this costume (we're making our own as opposed to buying one). Has anyone done this costume before or have suggestions for us?
Thanks

Switch it around and you wear the male end, hubby wears the receptacle.
Ditch the typical 120 and go with a 240 setup instead.
Or, use a GFCI receptacle.
As for materials, all you really need is some felt cut to the shape of the receptacle and you could just glue it to a shirt/pants/dress/etc.
The plug could just be a piece of foam on the underside, foam for the prongs covered with a shiny material, then wrap up all the loose ends and maybe just have it tie around the back.

I think it would be cool and funny if your husband had a USB cord instead of a plug, and you had the USB port.
Like this :

Sheets of thin foam is really easy to work with. You can layer it to any shape you want.
