Duct Tape Hawkeye Jacket. Boom.

Okay, I'm kinda proud of this one.  Halloween at my house this year is all about making costumes out of duct tape.  You remember the duct tape bacon,  but here I've crossed into the world of actual duct tape clothing.

Duct tape super hero clothing.  I should probably start setting personal limits right away.. 

I give you... *imaginary drumroll*  Duct tape Hawkeye.  You know... from The Avengers?  Okay so it's not IDENTICAL.. after all it's duct tape and I only have a limited amount of time. 

Right?
Basically, I took his old Christmas button up shirt from Old Navy, cut the sleeves and collar off, cut the sides open under the arms, reshaped it to be more body fitting and tape tape taped while it was still on his body.  It took about an hour.  Then we added some leftover brown and silver.

I kind of wish I'd have photographed the whole process.  

I also made a quiver which is fairly straightforward.  It's a duct tape tube with a strap.  So... now I just have to concoct some kind of nonlethal bow.

Hm.
