How to put it together
- 1
Put on the black bodysuit or the black long-sleeve shirt and pants base layer.
- 2
Pull on the yellow pants over the black base layer and secure the suspenders over your shoulders.
- 3
Use black fabric paint or a permanent marker to draw vertical grain lines and messy ink splatters onto the yellow pants.
- 4
Put on the black boots and tuck the bottom of the pants or bodysuit legs into them.
- 5
Put on the black gloves to ensure no skin is showing on your arms or hands.
- 6
Secure the distressed Bendy mask over your face, ensuring you can see clearly through the cut-out eye holes.
Makeup & hair
No hair styling is required as the mask covers the front of the head. If your hair is visible from the back, spray it with temporary black hair color or wear a black wig cap to blend in with the ink aesthetic.
