How to put it together
- 1
Put on your solid neutral base clothing (black or white shirt and pants) to create a clean canvas.
- 2
Construct the bottle body by cutting two identical rectangles from foam board, rounding the top corners slightly to mimic the bottle shoulders.
- 3
Paint the foam boards in the signature Don Julio Blanco blue or Reposado clear/amber color scheme.
- 4
Print and securely glue the Don Julio brand label to the front panel, ensuring it is centered and smooth.
- 5
Connect the front and back panels using thick ribbon or elastic straps hot-glued to the inner shoulders of the boards.
- 6
Slip the completed bottle tunic over your head, adjusting the shoulder straps for a comfortable fit.
- 7
Put on the green agave leaf headband and carry your DIY lime wedge prop to complete the tequila theme.
Makeup & hair
Keep makeup clean and natural. For a festive touch, apply subtle green face paint accents or temporary glitter along the cheekbones to match the agave theme.
Don Julio for couples, groups, kids & more
- couples
- Pair up as a Don Julio bottle and a lime wedge, or a bottle of tequila and a classic margarita cocktail.
- group
- Go as a full bar setup with friends dressing as salt shakers, lime slices, and different tequila varieties.
- kids
- Not recommended for children due to the alcohol theme; opt for a generic lime or cactus costume instead.

Tips
- Ensure the side straps of your sandwich board are loose enough so you can easily sit down and move around the party.
- Use lightweight foam board rather than heavy cardboard to keep the costume comfortable for hours of wear.
- Bring a small fabric tote bag to hold your phone and wallet, as the bottle tunic won't have pockets.
- If attending an outdoor event, wear a warm black hoodie underneath the bottle tunic.
