DIY: How to Make an M&M Costume
The first thing you will have to do is gather up all the necessary materials so that you will be able to follow the process with no difficulties.
Materials You Need
M&M’s come in a variety of colors, so you can choose the perfect hue for your custom t-shirts. With so many options to choose from, you’re sure to find the perfect match for your event or group.
- Iron-on transfer paper (dark fabric)
- Printed out M&M logo
- Marker
- Scissor
Steps to Follow
To ensure that your costume will come out great, you need to follow the instruction correctly and with concentration.
Step 1
Get the various solid-colored t-shirts ready by ironing them so you can use them without any problem.
Step 2
Print out a ‘m’ with the exact font from the M&M logo on paper. It does not matter what color you print. The thing you have to focus on is the size of the ‘m’ according to the t-shirt size. When you are done, take a picture of your ‘m’ and upload it here.
Step 3
Now that you have the printed ‘m,’ cut it precisely with a scissor.
Step 4
Get the iron-on paper and trace down the ‘m’ on it and cut the ‘m’ shape of the iron-on paper.
Step 5
Carefully place the iron-on ‘m’ on the t-shirt and iron the material on it. You need to follow the right instruction on how to do it so that you will not mess anything up. The iron-on ‘m’ needs to be placed on the front of the t-shirt.
Let the iron-on ‘m’ cool for a few minutes and then peel it off from the t-shirt. If you follow the instructions on how to do it properly, you will not have any problem peeling it off.
And there you have it. You are done learning how to make the M&M t-shirt.
Assemble the Costume
Now that you have the t-shirt ready, you are not entirely done with learning how to make an M&M costume. You will need to assemble the whole thing.
If you want, you can pair a t-shirt with pants, but the preferable option is using a pair of sport shorts. You can also put some funky accessories and makeup to match the color of the M&M t-shirt as well, and you are ready to go for the trick and treat.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why Is There No Purple M&M?
There is no purple M&M because the colors of chocolate have been established for over 100 years. Here are some reasons why there is no purple M&M:
1. The colors were originally chosen to be safe and easily distinguished from one another so as not to mix up two different types of candy.
2. It’s a lot harder to produce a new color of chocolate than it is to change the flavor or shape of an existing one, so creating a new color would require a lot more money and time than simply changing the flavor or shape.
3. If they did make a new color, it wouldn’t sell well enough because people would think that they are getting something else in addition to what they ordered.
Why Is There an Apostrophe in M&M’s?
M&M’s is an abbreviation for the candy manufactured by Mars, Incorporated. In the past, there was no apostrophe in M&M’s because it was pronounced as “M and M’s.”
The change in pronunciation made some people believe that there should be an apostrophe after “s” to make it more grammatically correct.
