More Crafts and DIY

Once the glue has dried, completely wrap the trident in masking tape. Optional: When wrapping in masking tape, I decided to glue down the tails of each strip of tape because I wanted to be completely confident that the tape would stay in place over a longer period of time. However, it isn’t necessary.

Use the fabric paint to draw U-like shapes to make scales along the front of the shirt. Continue in rows until the front of the shirt is covered. Once the glue has completely cooled and dried, spray paint both cuffs with the same gold spray paint you used on the trident. Insert 1 tube inside the other and glue together. Repeat. You should now be left with 2 sturdier tubes. Overlap the two ends of elastic and sew together. If you do not wish to sew, you can glue strands together but it may not be quite as strong.

How to Make a Poseidon Costume

Tie together all 15 strands of twine on one end and braid (3 sections of 5 strands) until the desired length is achieved, and trim off any unwanted excess. Draw the outline of the top of the trident on a sheet of cardboard. Be sure to draw a rectangle (the same width of the inside of your cardboard tube) underneath the trident as you will need to slide that inside of the tube to connect the trident head and handle together.
