Reading Rainbow

Post by Taylie » Mon Jul 03, 2017 3:50 pm

I will be attending a con in a couple days and am going as LeVar Burton in his role as host of Reading Rainbow. I will be holding books, obviously, but in order to be more obvious I had wanted to incorporate the Reading Rainbow Logo (Rainbow above the words). Problem is, I am not sure how to do that! I got a piece of posterboard, and had been thinking about painting it all and then trying to cut it out, attach thin wire to it somehow, and then wrapping the wire around my self inside the shirt (like the old school angel costumes and how they did the halos). But, to get the words and rainbow on it it will be pretty big I would think, and I am not sure if the wire could hold it upright. The hubbie suggested like having the rainbow coming out of a book that I am holding, but with me holding the book I am not sure how to do it. I would Greatly appreciate any help with ideas!!
