If you have an old sombrero kicking around and were also hoping to make your own Halloween costume this year, this jelly fish costume is a winner. Whether you choose to go with a blue hue like this blogger, or any other color you wish, you will be certain to shock and awe.
By covering an old sombrero hat (or a new and inexpensive one you purchase solely for this occasion) with quilted batting you can make the top portion of your jelly fish costume. You can then cover it with a iridescent material of your choice and attach streamers, ribbons or yarn to the underside of the brim. It's important to then line the underside of the hat and wear coordinating colors underneath to get the full effect.
