Galaxy Guy Alien Halloween Costume

For the boots, cover a pair of rubber boots in metal-repair tape. Cut a 28-inch piece of dryer duct; slice lengthwise and press open before cutting into two 6-inch-wide pieces. Then wrap the tubing around the tops of the boots and secure it with metal-repair tape.

For the suit and collar, spray a painter's suit, leather gardening gloves, bubble gun, and acrylic margarita glass (for the hat) with chrome spray paint and let it all dry. For the collar, wrap dryer duct around the neck, trimming to fit; secure it with metal-repair tape.

For the hat, remove the bulb socket from a silver clamp light and attach the fixture to a thin headband using the metal-repair tape. Hot-glue the painted margarita glass to the top of the fixture. Then cut rims from two mini (5-inch) aluminum pie tins. Snip one inch from one rim to make it smaller than the other and hot-glue shut. Wire rims together, one about 1-1/2-inches above the other, then wire it to the stem of the glass. Tilt one rim for an orbital effect.
