I love the shamwow, the shamwow can soak up everything from water to a milkshake, fruit punch to ranch dressing, so you see its a great product, but it would be even better in costume form so i made this. I hope you like this and please rate.

Now you need to cut the fabric,
measure your height and width then cut the fabric to the appropriate length.
Im 5ft. 3in. so i cut it to 4.5' x 2.5' to let my legs stick out the bottom a little bit.
Cutting the Holes

First measure your head, then cut the hole to the appropriate length on one of the sheets of fabric (that will be the front of your costume).
Then measure the size of your arms and cut a hole on the sides of each sheet fabric.
Sewing the Two Sheets Together

Just sew one side at a time exept the bottom part and arm holes.
Gluing the Text on to the Cloth

Your almost done, but to add realism to the shamwow costume you have to glue the words
" Shamwow ... made in germany" with your blue fabric on to only the front .
