Need a last minute Halloween costume? Neighborhood kids will crack up when they see you coming in this homemade duct tape bullseye costume! Kids will love wearing the arrow on their head, and making the bullseye is much easier than you might think. Parchment paper allows you to create your own target sticker.

Duct Tape Bullseye Costume

 

Duct Tape Bullseye Costume

This bullseye costume project comes from my book, Duct Tape Mania, which was released a couple of years ago. There are about 50 different duct tape crafts that you can make and it would be the perfect holiday gift for a special child in your life!

 

This bullseye costume is especially fun for the silly-willy elementary school set. They’ll giggle and laugh about the goofy arrow headband!

Duct Tape Bullseye Costume

To Make this Bullseye Costume you need:

  • 30-inch piece of parchment paper
  • Duct tape: white, black, blue, red, yellow and silver
  • 2 pipe cleaners
  • 2 drinking straws
  • Headband
  • Recycled cardboard rectangle (approximately 3” x 4”)
  • Scissors
  • Cutting Mat
  • Craft knife
  • download the printable bullseye pattern here


FULL PRINTABLE INSTRUCTIONS AND SUPPLY LIST AT THE END

Here’s what you do:

How to make a duct tape bullseye costume

Place target pattern underneath the parchment paper.

Cutting duct tape

Measure and cut a strip of yellow tape long enough to cover the size of the center yellow circle and stick it to the parchment paper.

Measure and cut two strips of red tape long enough to cover the size of the red section of the target. Stick one strip to the parchment and lay the second strip slightly overlapping the first, creating a small sheet.

Cutting duct tape

Repeat this step for the remaining colors of the target, increasing each in size, ensuring your duct tape sheets are large enough to cover their corresponding target colors.

Take the pattern out from underneath the parchment paper. Roll a small piece of tape, sticky side out, and stick it to the back-center of the target.

Take your white sheet, leaving on the parchment paper backing, and stick the target to the white sheet. Using the target as your guide, cut around the white section of the target to cut out a circle from the white tape sheet.

Cutting out bullseye

Repeat this step for each color, working from the outside of the target inward (i.e. your next color will be black, then blue, and so on).

Cutting duct tape into circles

Now that all of your circles are cut out, be sure to leave the parchment backing on the white circle until you are ready to actually use the target on clothing.

Remove the parchment backing from the black circle. Stick the black circle to the center of the white circle.

Remove the parchment backing from the blue circle and stick it to the center of the black circle.

Remove parchment from the red circle and stick it to the blue circle.

Remove the parchment from the yellow circle and stick it to the red circle.

Remove the parchment from the back of the target and press it onto child’s shirt.

To make the arrow, wrap a pipe cleaner around one side of the headband, leaving a long end for the arrow tail. Repeat this process for the other side of the headband for the arrow tip, making this side a little shorter.

Creating a bullseye costume headband

Slide drinking straws onto each pipe cleaner, trimming the straws where needed. This will give the arrow some stability.

Cut an elongated triangle from the cardboard. Reserve the remaining pieces for the tail of the arrow.

Cover the triangle with silver duct tape.

Take the reserved cardboard and line up the straight sides together to form the feather tail. Cover the tail in yellow duct tape and cut small slits in the edges to look like a feather.

Cover each straw/pipe cleaner with black duct tape, attaching the tail and arrow with tape as well.
