Making a Crayola Crayon Costume?

Make a tube of a stiff material that will fit around the wearer; if arms are to be free, I would make it in two pieces that slip together at the arms. Go to a fabric store for buckrum (?), a stiff material. You can make the costume taller than the wearer, cutting eye holes where the lettering will be and even cover those with a black netting. Cover the stiff material with black material or even paper after doing the lettering. The basic form can be recovered to make a totem pole, a candle, or about anything else of that shape so if this is for a child, it can be recycled for another child of the same size.
