In my opinion, the hardest part of a Mysterio costume is the silver sphere that serves as Mysterio&#8217;s helmet. Others have used a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/brenlo\/2949191388\/\">glass bowl<\/a>, or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/44124356048@N01\/4725511\/\">tinfoil<\/a>, but I was not happy with their results, and decided that I wouldn&#8217;t commit to making the costume unless I could get the sphere just right. <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s amazing what you can buy for $48 on eBay! The image to the left is showing off my Mysterio sphere (44&#8243; circumference, 14&#8243; diameter) on top of a Christmas tree. The sphere is even mirrored inside, perfect for Mysterio&#8217;s helmet! It was originally an outdoor lawn ornament (reflecting ball) sold by Pottery Barn.<\/p>\n<p>The only problem is that the hole in the bottom of the sphere is only about 1.5&#8243;, too small for my head!  My options are clear: 1) Make a &#8220;headless horseman&#8221; type costume, where my head is actually under the costume&#8217;s &#8220;head&#8221;. 2) Find a way to cut the 1\/3&#8243; thick glass sphere!  I&#8217;m trying really hard to get option two (cut the sphere!) working, as I want the costume to be in proper proportions, and besides, having my head inside of a mirrored glass sphere will be cool! (Visibility may be a problem, imagine wearing mirrored sunglasses at night.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of my new year&#8217;s resolutions is to build a high quality Mysterio costume.
