How to create your own Bee Costume

How do I dress up as a bee?

Black and yellow clothing will be the basis of your bee costume. Choose a black or a yellow item and attach stripes (either black or yellow, depending on the color you chose) to it. If you find a piece which already has black and yellow stripes – Even better!

How to create the wings and the sensors?

For the sensors use a hairband on which you can attach styrofoam balls on a wire. Color these black. In regards to the wings, use wire and form the skeleton of the wings. When you are done use tights and pull these over the wire. You can either attach the wings by sewing these to your clothes or use two straps on either end to pull them over your arms and back.

How is the make-up supposed to look like?

Use yellow color on your entire face – This is the basis of your facial make-up. Use black colors such as a black kajal pencil and black eyeshadow to create a nice effect. You can also use fake eyelashes or black mascara to set an accent on your eyes.
