A Carnival costume

My son fancied a Ghostbusters costume for Carnival. We borrowed a backpack sulphur duster, which I cleaned out on Thursday, and I bought white overalls (which my husband can use later). On Thursday evening, my husband and son sprayed the backpack black, while I got a Ghostbusters logo off the internet and ironed two copies of it onto the overalls, and printed another two onto sticky labels to go on the back pack.

Very quick (apart from washing the dang sulphur out!) easy and cheap, and it was very effective. He wore it to the school’s carnival party on Friday, and we filled it with talc for Los Indianos tonight, and we got lots of positive comments.
