We use aluminium for ours which we get from Simmals in Preston – there is a list of suppliers which you can download from this site above. We use rivets to fasten it together… may have a template somewhere in the workshop, so if you send your details to our email etc…

Hi Sarah
I think you can use anything you want. I saw a great costume in Rio made from crisp packets, and I have made one from Mintcake wrappers. It just depends on what kind of costume you would like to make. Have you done a design?

hi i’m doing a dissertation on carnival and is needing to find out what materials would be used to create a large costume for carnival. I wonder if you would be able to help me in any way?

Thank you very much for the advice! We’re only making 6 of the `big’ costumes between 30 children so the minimum order is a problem – we really don’t anticipate needing hundreds of rods! I’ll contact you soon about that, thanks. It’s really lovely to get a response – I’ve sent out so many e-mails to bands and artists – I did get lots of useful information from one carnival artist but absolutely zero response from all the others! Your help is really appreciated. Vic
