Are you someone who likes to stand out while also blending in? Do you like the feel of wind in your hair? Or are you simply looking for a costume that is too funny to forget? If so, look no further.
The Whomping Willow costume is straightforward as long as you’re ok having a bit of non-traditional fun (as this only loosely works).
Willow Gear
Step 1: The Ghillie Suit, Camouflage Hunting Apparel including Jacket, Pants, Hood, Carry Bag.
Your Trunks
Step 2: Add brown pants and brown shoes. These Dickies Men’s Relaxed Straight Fit Lightweight Duck Carpenter Jeans do the trick as well as any other matte brown pant.
The Flying Ford Anglia
Step 3: the flying Ford Anglia 105E Deluxe.
We have scoured the internet trying to find the ideal car. There are a few fair options.
This Flying Ford Anglia with Harry and Ron Diecast Display Model is 5 inches long, heavy, and authentic.
Other models that are Hot Wheels, a bit smaller, lighter, and probably a better fit are available on eBay. While we cannot link to any one car on eBay without the link dying overly quickly, we can say that we found a fair number of Ford Anglia 105E Deluxe cars for sale for a fair price.
Or you may choose to upgrade their ride with this available-via-Amazon Hot Wheels BMW M2 Blue, which will be much closer to 1.5 inches, extremely light, and easy to work with.
Step 4: get the car to stick to your costume.
We recommend some floss threaded multiple times through the car and ghillie suit, a pair of shoe laces, whatever you have handy. We also recommend you secure it from the top and the bottom to prevent it from moving while you move.
If you decide to sew a part of it, here is a video for how to knot a thread on a needle as you prepare to get going!
Whomping Power
Step 5: for an extra bit of fun, some Socker Boppers Inflatable Boxing Pillows, so you can whomp your friends with less fear of injuring them.
Use Rust-Oleum Satin Hunter Green Spray Paint to match your outfit.
