![]() ![]() Soooooooo, do as I say and not as I do (like in the pictures below), and try using something different, like a laundry hamper….because I feel like those would be a lot lighter. But, it was still heavier than I think it should have been. We started cutting it up before realizing it though, so we cut a bunch of holes in it (you’ll see further down)….which helped lighten it up. We decided to use a trash can because you can buy them nice and big and when you think tornado, you want big, right? HOWEVER, this heavy duty trash can was too heavy. Okay, first things first-your tornado base.Tornado Debris (plastic animals, twigs, toy cars, etc.).Duct Tape (for reshaping the trash can).Tulle ( many yards….but it also depends on how big of a tornado you’re making and what you’re covering.).Also, any color fabric works, since you’ll be spray painting, but lighter colors are easier to cover.) Fabric, anything light and inexpensive ( many yards…but read the tutorial before deciding how much you need.Trash Can & Lid ( or a laundry hamper or a tomato cage….more about the best option below).Well, here’s what you need to get started… Supplies for NO-SEW Tornado Costume: Ha!)ĭo you want to make your own tornaod costume? You know, to save for next year’s Halloween? Or use for a school play? Or a local parade? You never know…. But no joke, the enthusiasm of the meteorologists who’s reporting the tornado activity, equals that of one of those crazy football game commentators. When there’s an active storm, the LIVE coverage coverage takes over all the local channels, and can last several hours. I kinda bet Oklahoma is every meteorologist’s dream location though, because you can pretty much guarantee having tornadoes (yep, plural), every single year. Helpful, right? ( I’d like to thank my local weatherman for all this info, which he so freely gives me during tornado season……haha! I only laugh because tornado season is a crazy time of year and the meteorologists get super amped up, which makes me appreciate their passion. ![]() ![]() Once you start seeing those power surges though, which create big bursts of light, you know the tornado is on the ground causing damage. This is actually helpful at nighttime, when you’re unsure if there’s an actual tornado touching the ground, since it’s too dark to get a visual. ( Steve whipped those up out in the garage from wood scraps, while I was putting this tornado together.) In case you didn’t you didn’t know, it’s super common to see power flashes in a tornado, which are caused when a tornado hits a power pole. My favorite piece of swirling debris, might have to be those power poles that got sucked right up into the storm. ![]()
