Acrylic can shatter. Please consider using polycarbonate instead of acrylic globes for your astronaut helmets.
They can be found for around 20 dollars more than the acrylic ones.

Watch the following video if you are not convinced by mere words alone.

I made a MMU a manned maneuvering unit (basically a jet pack) out of styrofoam and a backpack frame. The helmet is made from a dollar store plastic bowl and cardboard. I printed out the logos and spray glued them on.

Good one Lady…NOT! That might be the dumbest idea I have ever heard. “Yea, go as uh…Popcorn! Yea popcorn is a good idea!” I would rather go naked and save myself the embarrassment.

Im just kidding around. That sounds awesome.

May I ask where did you get that giant plastic sphere? I have a different costume that requires something of similar nature. Please let me know!

Thank you

Sorry, if this is a little off topic but it is for Shelia at her request: Here a great costure idea – Take a box and cut it to fit the person. Paint it with red and white stripes and write “POPCORN” on the front. Glue popped popcorn around the top of box. String some popcorn in your hair. Wear white make-up. Use an upside-down popcorn bucket for a hat. —————— You’re welcone. I hope this helps you Shelia. Have Fun. Deborah, The Costume Lady.
