Give it a try and add hook and eye closures

Try on your wearer's body and mark where to attach the hook and eye fasteners on the back of the suit. We used three 2” pieces. When you're ready, sew on the fasteners.

Glue the back of the China pieces and add Fastners

Place a piece of painter's tape on the back of each china piece; trim it to fit the base of the circle. Then place a (rough) Hook of Sticky Back Velcro over the painter's tape. (The tape will allow you to easily remove the fasteners so you can reuse the tea set after Halloween.)
