2. Giant jellyfish
Be the ball! Or, you could be a giant jellyfish. Costumes are great way to incorporate found objects. I guess you’ll have to wait around until someone has a deep sea monsters party (I had one once, no lie). Or you could throw your own bash and be like a jelly. Old hula hoop to the rescue!
