Nyan Cat Costume with EL Rainbow

• Sew a big tan rectangle for the pop tart, leaving holes for arms, head and the entire bottom portion open like a T-shirt.
• Sew a T-shirt or sweatshirt inside the pop tart, closing up around the arm and neck holes - this makes it so you can add stuffing to the shoulders.
• Add your frosting and sprinkles (felt) with hot glue. Easy.
• The head is made by stretching and hot-gluing felt over the papier-mâché.

• Get some flexible beading thread. It's clear plastic and has some give so it wont hurt your EL as you move around. Whip-stitch it around the EL going all the way down the length of the pants.
• You can be a super cool maker and use an Ardruino to create your sequencer. OR you can be a lazy, last-minute costume maker like me and buy a sequencer ready-made. :/
• The 9v battery ran out in about an hour, so I put together a pack of 6 AA batteries to replace it.

I hid a shuffle player and battery-powered speaker in the foot for maximum Nyan annoyance.

Dance!
