How to put it together
- 1
Put on the purple jumpsuit, ensuring it fits loosely to mimic a bulky animatronic frame.
- 2
Fasten the oversized red bow tie securely around your neck, positioning it right below the chin.
- 3
Slip on the purple gloves, tucking the cuffs neatly into the sleeves of the jumpsuit.
- 4
Put on the Bonnie mask, adjusting the strap so the eye holes align comfortably with your vision.
- 5
Sling the red electric guitar over your shoulder using its strap.
- 6
Practice moving with stiff, robotic, jerky motions to fully embody the creepy animatronic character.
Makeup & hair
If using a half-mask, apply black face paint around your eyes so your skin blends into the dark eye sockets of the mask. Keep hair flat or tied back securely so it fits comfortably under the mask.
