Steps to Follow
Step One
The first step in any DIY project is gathering all the materials you need. You should never start a project without having everything on hand. One missing item could mess up the whole project by the time you get it.
You can use cardboard or Bristol board to make the waffle. If you cannot find a proper color, you can always paint the whole thing just to make it look extra waffle-like.
Step Two
Now that you have the materials at hand, you can start with how to make the waffle costume. First, you need to cut the board you are going to use. You can cut it with the knife or scissor, whichever you prefer. As for the measurement, it is going to depend on how big you want it to be and on the body size of the one who is going to wear.
Step Three
Now that you have the basic shape of the board for your waffle, you need to work with the egg crates. You will need a lot of them. You will need to make the stripes of the waffle with them. Put them according to how you want them with the help of glue and let them dry until they are completely dried up.
Step Four
Now that you have the basics of the waffle ready, you can start with coloring the whole thing up. You do not want to add other details before color as they can get messed up. Before coloring them, make sure the glue is dried up. Also, after painting, you need to set the waffle in a place where it can dry without getting ruined by something unwanted.
Step Five
Now that the waffle painting is complete, you need to attach the harness. If you are unable to find a harness, you can make one with elastic bands. Join the harness to the waffle with glue and let it sit for drying. You need to measure where the harness will be properly before you glue it to the costume.
And you are done making a waffle costume.
Decoration Time!
You can use the one you have just made, or you can add some other decoration to it. As for that, you can print out “Eggo” and glue it to the costume. You can also add some butter pieces that you can make with paper and color. When you wear the waffle, you can carry an empty bottle of your favorite syrup to make it more extra.
