Step-by-Step Soda Bottle Costume Tutorial

1. Cut two 2-inch wide strips of silver cardstock. Accordion fold each strip in about 1/2″ sections.
Hot glue the ends of both strips together, forming one circle shape.

Hot glue the folded cardstock around the edge of the pie tin. I find it’s best to glue one fold to one side of the pie tin, then glue the one directly opposite that. That gives you an anchor point so your folds are spread out evenly. Then continue to glue the rest in place.
Hot glue a stretchy headband to the bottom of the pie tin.
Cut out the soda label letters of your choice. Then, cut a “stripe” of felt, a few inches shorter than the length of your label.
If the adhesive felt you bought has a strong enough adhesive, you can just adhere it as-is to your dress If not, I recommend applying hem tape to the back for extra security and/or tacking each letter on with a needle and thread.
