Product Information

I made everything out of cardboard first. It was a lengthy process of matching it to her arm, keeping the overall mantis look, and making it fit the other pieces when she moved her arm. I added paper, cut paper, etc, until I got the shape I desired. All that was left was to sew the fabric/hardboard/foam combo to the harness where the cardboard used to be. The extra inch of fabric around each side was sewn directly to the vinyl webbing.

A praying mantis is a popular choice for a Halloween costume because they are unique looking insects. They have large eyes and long legs that make them look like they are always ready to pounce. Wearing a praying mantis costume can be a fun way to stand out from the crowd at Halloween parties. For Example, They May Be Dressing Up for Halloween Or Participating in a Themed Event I fitted the top of the claw to the inside of the bottom of the forearm piece, popped matching holes in the sides with an awl, then attached them to each other using Chicago screws. Have I mentioned my love for those yet?

I eyeballed the majority of the veins on the wings and sketched them out on my patterns. After, I finalized the sketches with a marker. The rest was a blur of cutting off each marked section and tracing it onto the foam wings like they were stencils. Silver permanent marker made the job easy. Despite both the Titanoptera and Santanmantis being smaller than the Mantis found in Ark both were giant insects when compared to the modern Praying Mantis. I duplicated the eyeball using the saran wrap and tape method and taped that to the other side of the mask. After, I used strips of brown paper and wood glue to paper mache the whole thing. Later on, after being a bit unhappy with the shape, I added a few strips of cardboard to reconfigure it, then did paper mache again.

The mantis has two pairs of wings. For each set, I made a pattern of one side, then cut two of each out of the foam wood underlayment. It comes in a giant roll and is very light and easy to work with, as well as being slightly see-through. Your little one will be sure to turn heads in their praying mantis costume. We have put together a step-by-step guide on how to make your own DIY praying mantis costume for your toddler.

To complete the arm assemblies, they attached the claws at an angle and added some functional structure to the inside of the forearm. The pipe cleaner in the center maintains the structure of the forearm and the two elastic straps keep the arm assemblies on, while still leaving room for free hand movement.
