Human centipede costume?

Was gonna be a humanoid octopus with four arms so I'd have eight limbs total. Unfortunately, while I did manage to get four wooden hand mannequin things, and construct several wooden arms with joints, one of them broke, so I had to park this costume for another time.

I went to a dozen or so retail spots, Spirit was practically empty, and none of the regular outlets would sell me their mannequins for some reason, but I ended up getting four hand mannequins at Blick Arts in Cambridge. Tragically, after constructing four arms out of wood, one of them broke, so I will park this costume for another day. If only I had thought about it a few weeks in advance instead of the night before...

Oh wow! Sorry it didn't work out.

Honestly if I had thought of it two weeks ahead of time instead of the night before, would've just ordered a couple pairs of these and it would've been way easier.
Not sure what I'm gonna do with the wooden arms now lmao just going into a closet I guess.

I dunno.... sounds like you can add some whimsy to your decor now.

Considering it, but I'd have to remake the elbows. Maybe some time in the future.

Spirit Halloween? Fake arms are aplenty. Otherwise go to outlet malls, they'll usually have extra mannequins in the back of each store. Then again, I haven't worked at the gap since highschool and I don't like to think about how long ago that was.
