Jay’s Halloween Costumes (#2)

A white ghost costume with cat ears and a tail. The face and body are covered—purely for fun as a Halloween costume. Kind of like a “corner little ghost” vibe.

I will sew LED strips onto the hem of the ghost costume and program the LED colors and flashing frequency. I want it to alternate between blue and white, then gradually shift into red.

Materials:

  • White fabric.
  • For the eyes, I’ll use translucent fabric, find some leftover red fabric that I might paint black (or possibly keep red, which could also look nice).
  • Black fabric for the tail and a fish-bone plush.
  • A headband or hat to attach the cat ears.
  • LED strips, batteries, and a microcontroller board

To-do list:

  • Solder the LED strip and set up the lighting effects.
  • Cut the foam board into ear shapes and attach them to the headband or hat. Then, assemble the pieces with the white fabric.
  • Cut and sew the eye area.
  • Assemble the tail and LED strip.
  • Embroider a fishbone pattern on the black fabric and sew the fishbone plush.

    1. I like your ghost-cat idea! It’s cute and a little spooky.The full cover makes a clear shape, and the LED plan is great—blue/white to red feels like a story.Lights on the hem will glow on the floor and look awesome in the dark. And I am just curious about how will u keep the cat ears standing up?
