Oh bubble gum. I’ve always been a fan and remember getting Bazooka Joe as a kid with a little cartoon. So I made a Bazooka Joe costume DIY based on the bubble gum I adore and to go along with my Retro Candy Costumes!
To start my son loves getting a piece of bubble gum as a treat. Its not only candy but it’s also got a little riddle or joke with it now so it’s fun to open and figure out the puzzle or joke.
Bazooka Joe Costume
Costume supplies:
White shirt
Blue and Red iron on letters or iron on vinyl
Blue baseball cap
Black eye patch
Blue jeans
Bazooka Joe Bubble Gum
It was really easy to make. I just cut the letters with my Cricut in alternating blue and red and ironed them on with my Easy Press 2. If you don’t have a Cricut you can buy the iron on letters easily. Then just add the hat, eye patch and jeans which are rolled on the bottom, and you’re set.
A quick and easy costume that will work for all ages and have people saying that’s clever. I also added a little pink balloon to give it the feel like he was blowing a bubble. My little guy loved dressing up and being the tough guy Bazooka Joe.
This also makes a great couples costume or if you have a sister this can make a great sibling costume of Bazooka Joe and Mary Jane. A great little retro candy theme!
