So anyway how exactly does one make an anemone costume? Well...
1) I started by cutting out some cardboard in the shape of a doughnut. Then I painted it pink and cut a line down the back so that I could slip it on sideways.
Isn't this look so slimming? Don't be fooled. I don't have a thighgap...
2) Buy like a hundred pink balloons off Amazon and use an air compressor to pump them up.
This is gonna take a while so make sure to turn on the latest episode of Downton Abbey.
3) Once you pump up a balloon and tie it off, twist it in the middle and staple directly into the cardboard(making sure not to puncture the balloon). It doesn't always grab so you may have to try a few times.
4) Try on your progress and get excited about how sick it's gonna look.
