This was the first of my random, obscure costumes. To this day, I have no idea why I wanted to be a fire hydrant for halloween. I was a little strange. Anyway, I assembled the fire hydrant shape using red flexible foam board, pipe cleaners, and pom-poms. Once I made the shape, I secured it to a red bowler hat and that was it. The body suit was part a Britney Spears music video costume, but for some unknown reason, I looked at it and thought “no, this would be perfect for a fire hydrant costume.”

And yes, I went to our local fire station and the firefighters loved it. Definitely the most random costume I’ve ever made.
