Need:
1.
Colorful Pillowcase
2.
4 Big Colored Pom Poms
3.
Elastic cording or 1/4 inch elastic
4.
Craft glue
5.
Scissors
6.
1 large safety pin / 4 medium safety pins
Dollar Store accessories
What To Do:
7.
Iron pillowcase to remove creases and
wrinkles first.
8.
Fold pillowcase in half, lengthwise, and
then cut a small opening, on folded side, for the neck . Unfold and then
cut a slit down the back, only, about 5 inches long from the neck opening.
9.
Across from the neck opening, at each side
seam, cut away a 1/4 inch slice for the arm holes.
10.
Dab a bit of white glue onto the cut edges
to prevent fraying, if desired.
11.
Cut a piece of elastic that will fit
around your child's thighs, adding about 6 additional inches.
12.
Cut a small slit on the inside of the
double thick bottom border, making sure not to cut into the front layer of
fabric.
13.
Attach the large safety pin to one end of
the elastic and then insert this into the opening of the border. Making
sure to keep the other end free, weave the safety pin through the entire
border, gathering as you go. Tie off end, leaving a short tail and push
into border.
Attach Pom poms to the center front of the
costume or attach with hot glue if desired. You can either make a big bow
from a piece of fabric, folding over ends and tying in middle (attach to front
of costume) or we found our clown nose, gloves and bow tie at the dollar store.
