How to Make a Maternity Fish Bowl Costume for Halloween

You'll most likely be pregnant no more than a few times in your life, so why not draw attention to your "baby bump" this year in a light hearted and whimsical manner? This page will show you How to Make a Fish Bowl Costume if You're Pregnant, step by step.

Introduction

If you are pregnant this Halloween, take advantage of the narrow window of opportunity you have to dress up your belly! There are a couple of different ways you can construct your fish bowl. The first is to paint it on, though having your belly exposed if you're planning on going out for several hours may not be comfortable. A better alternative might be to paint your design right onto a T-shirt while you're wearing it. You can then cut the other items out of construction paper or other materials like felt and paste them into place.

Step 1: The Bowl

To construct the bowl, select a light blue color for your paint and then apply it directly to the T-shirt. You can draw the outline of the bowl if you like with a rounded edge at the top of the glass, but it's not necessary. People are going to focus their attention on what's in the bowl.

Step 2: The Fish

Cut multiple varieties of fish out of construction paper and paste them onto your bowl. Tropical fish are the brightest and most popular. In fact, anything from the movie Finding Nemo is a sure hit with the kids. You can find templates online or even print off some fish that are already colored in. Make sure your fish are not all swimming in the same direction, though images taken at 3/4 angles are also going to be tricky to integrate smoothly.

Step 3: Details and Accessories

For many Halloween costumes the details make the outfit, and this one is no exception. You can add coral, bubbles, shells and even seaweed to your bowl. Also consider bringing some accessories along with you, like a small fish net and fish food. Another fun idea is to bring a stuffed cat as well. Garfield is the obvious choice, but any hungry looking plush cat will do. The sky is the limit on your creativity; some may even choose to wear a snorkel!
