Picture Not Available |
| Age: | Infant to Toddler | |
| Time Required: | About 8 hrs | |
| Difficulty: | Easy | |
| Materials Required: | A red sweatsuit, Black fabric paint, a red stocking cap, some green felt and a hot glue gun. Face makeup (store bought or home made) |
|
| Directions: | On the sweatsuit and stocking cap paint little black dots to look like the seeds on a strawberry. Let paint dry over night. Cut the felt into 4 leaf shapes and glue onto top of stocking cap. Let glue dry and you are ready to go. I also painted a pair of old white sneakers red but this is not nessary. OPTIONAL: Paint pink circles on cheeks ----------------- If you are having trouble finding the pieces for the costume in the store, or if you like sewing parts of your own costumes, check out these ideas: 1) Make your own tunic shirt from red material 2) Make homemade makeup 3) Make a skirt from red material. 4) In colder climates especially, make a cloak from red material and add pink or light yellow teardrop shapes as seeds -- you can fringe the top of the cloak with green felt leaves. You can wear this overtop of a warm jacket. The pattern does not require sewing. |
