Host: You are what you eat but what if what you really like to eat is a donut. Yvette shows us how we can become the treat this Halloween with sprinkles. Yvette: It’s time to make the donuts and you won’t believe how easy this costume is to make. So what you want to do is you want to start out with an inner tube. The kind you’d use in a pool or at the beach and these might be a little tricky to find this time of year at your neighborhood store so go online if you can’t find them. They’re still really inexpensive and pretty easy to get. So what you’re going to do is fill this up. I filled this one up and I actually took it outside and hit it with some spray paint in a delicious bakery brown color. You need to make sure that you use a spray paint that’s specifically for plastic. Because otherwise, it won’t adhere and it just won’t work. So I hit it with my bakery brown and then I actually wanted to add a little delicious chocolate frosting to this donut to make it really look like a donut. So for that, use spray paint also for plastic in a glossy chocolate brown color so you can see how it’s really starting to look like a donut so I’ve got my glossy brown on to give it that chocolate frosting and then while the paint was still wet, I started putting some sprinkles on it. And for the sprinkles, this is super easy. You get some straws in these fashion colors. A bunch of neon colors and just cut them in about two inch lengths and I’ve got a bunch cut here and while the paint is still wet, you can actually sprinkle these on and it’ll stick but now that my paint’s dry, I’m going to use one of my trusty hot glue guns and I’ll use maybe a pink one. Put a pink one, just a little bit of dab of glue. Put one right there and a green one and I’ll put one there. And you just can put as many sprinkles as you want. Personally, I like a lot of sprinkles so I may be adding quite a few onto my donut. Perfect, I’ve all the sprinkles that I want and now, we need to figure out a way to actually wear this donut. So what we’re going to do is we’re actually going to wear it like this in the front but if you’ve got a small kid, you can always have them wear it around their waste if you want to. And to make our little hooks for it, I’m using some duck tape. What I did was I made a little kind of strap out of duck tape I just rolled the duck tape on top of itself so that it was like a real sturdy little strap and then using some pieces of duck tape that I cut, I just taped over the sides so that my hook is nice and strong. I’ll do another one right here. So there’s one and then I’m going to do the opposite side. So if you can imagine, you’re kind of going to wear this like a messenger or a beauty queen where one is higher than the other one. So I’ve got that one there. So you’ve got your donut costume halfway done but every costume needs little accessories and this is super duper easy to put together. You can go to your local donut shop and get one of these. That’ll always add a little something to your costume. And you can even make your own box of donuts if you take a shirt box like this. You can make whatever logo you want for your donut company. I’ve got Yummy Yummy Donuts here. So you just cut out labels and put it right onto a shirt box and you’ve got a box of donuts and then to make the handle for it, I did the same thing with the duck tape. I made a little strap by folding the duck tape on top of each other and then long pieces on the side and you’ve got a little handle. To finish off the look, dress in white pants and a white button down shirt with black belt and shoes and you’re ready to go. For more great holiday ideas, click here on 100 days of holidays.
