I remember when I first started out padding not too long ago, maybe back in March, I would fold up a comforter into a pentagon-ish shape, and then put it in a trash bag. you might need to add a bit more realism to it by molding it into a half-egg shape. Then, I would take a pillow and put it in sideways, and have it lay on my stomach. I have pictures too!
What you'll need is two shirts, and they must be stretchy! And, what ever pants you want. You could also use a leotard, if you want, but it's easier to use two shirts. You'll also need a one blanket and one pillow, if you wanna use the pillow. You're also gonna need a trash bag.
1.) Fold the blanket into a half-egg like pentagon shape. That'll be your belly. It always helps to shape it, too, so it doesn't gap, and look all weird.
2.) Put the folded and shaped blanket into the trash bag. It doesn't matter what kind you use. I just used a store-brand one.
3.) Here's where the shirts come in. Put the stretchy shirt on [ Like a workout shirt, it doesn't matter. Under-Armour works good too. ] like a regular shirt, and put the other one on like a pair of pants. Just put your legs through the sleeves. Using short sleeves is recommended, but I've tried it with long sleeves.
4.) Put the trash-bag blanket inside your shirt-pants. Once you do that, shape it so its centered on your stomach. Shaping is key, here. Once you do that, you're practically done. Just put the stretchy shirt over it and you're pretty much done. Hopefully, if you've done it correctly, It should look like a belly. You could use the pillow, too, but it's not needed.
5.) Customize it! Wear whatever clothing you want to over it. I, myself, personally like the office-belly look. It's all up to you!
