Transcript

For the last four years, I've been making Halloween costumes entirely out of Flamin' Hot Cheetos bags. I wanna outdo myself again this year. It is time for my fifth annual Flamin' Hot Cheetos Halloween costume. Tier first step is to empty out lots and lots of Cheetos bags. Bad drum roll please, the theme for this year's costume is Filamin' Hot Flight Attendant. And obviously it has to be hot, so I had the idea to channel Britney Spears from the iconic Toxic Music video. So I found the outfit that she worse, and I'll be using this as the base of the costume. The Cheetos bags act as a fabric no I glue and cut those all along the different sections of the dress. Even the shoulder pads and the cutouts, this was such a complicated silhouette no this literally took me forever. And I have to be so careful with the placement because the Cheetos bags literally have no stretch. Okay. I am so obsessed better as you can see I have to leave the bad open.
