Twins can make their own slinky-toy story costumes
Recently, I came across a video of twins dressed up as the Slinky dog from Toy Story. One of the twins has dog ears and tail, and they trot around their school in a really impressive costume. Their parents and grandmother, Tara Jensen, made the costume for their kids and posted it on Twitter.
This DIY costume is great to make for twins, or for any other gender. You can even make it for yourself! You’ll need a craft wire around 18 inches long. To cover the slinky, you will also need a fabric tub. Fold the fabric tube over wire and hot glue the ends. You’ll also need some glue and dark brown felt.
You will need a thicker tail wire to make the body. The tail wire should be thicker so that it bounces. A bowl painted with silver or dark brown should work as the base. The last tip of the slinky’s tail should be made from a small ball made of paper mache.

Buzz Lightyear’s chemistry and Aliens
The movie’s success was due to the chemistry between Buzz Lightyear (and the Aliens) in Toy Story. During the movie, Lightyear reveals to his new friends his chemistry with the Aliens. The slinky costume that Lightyear wears in the movie is reminiscent of a spacesuit. This outfit is perfect for the film’s theme, featuring a silver, glittery belt.
The movie’s plot is also heavily influenced by the chemistry between Buzz Lightyear (and the Aliens). In the first movie, Buzz mentions the alien, named Zurg. He is then captured by Andy’s sadistic neighbor, Sid Phillips. Sid has a Bull Terrier named Scud, and many “mutant” toys.
