A Texas elementary school teacher has baffled social media users with her very creative Halloween costume.

Shay Diez, 36, is a physical education teacher at Sycamore Springs Elementary School in Dripping Springs.

To celebrate Halloween with her students this year, she dressed up as an ‘illusion,’ making it look like her body was cut in half.

Clever! Texas elementary school teacher Shay Diez created an illusion costume that looks like she was cut in half

Shay’s head-scratcher of a costume clearly took some clever DIY.

In pictures she posted on Twitter, she is seen wearing a baggy blue gym shirt and smiling for the camera while giving a thumbs-up with her right hand.

Her left hand and arm, though, are wrapped around what looks like her own hips and legs, which appear to have been severed from her body and standing upright.

The mind-boggling costume appears to show the bottom of her torso and the top of her legs completely separated from one another.

Though she wouldn’t reveal the secret to her creepy costume, a bit of Googling reveals a couple other people who have tried similar stunts, and seem to be bending their bodies at very odd angles to make it work.

Shay’s school, Sycamore Springs, is one of many schools that hosts a ‘vocabulary parade’ on Halloween.

The purpose of a vocabulary parade is to combine language learning with the holiday, and students are encouraged to dress up as a vocabulary word.

The tradition was inspired by the book Miss Alaineus: A Vocabulary Disaster by Debra Frasier.

Their mom, Krystel Hwang, dressed them up, and posted video of them on Facebook, where it has racked up tens of millions of views.
