Do-It-Yourself Costume Creations

ROBIN HOOD
• Long underwear dyed brown
• Green felt tunic clinched at the waist with a heavy leather belt
• Green felt hat with a feather attached at the side angling back
• A medallion (Decorate a jar lid with pasta and glitter, tape a paper clip to the back and string yarn or cord through to hang around the neck.)
• A bow, which can be made from a long stick and string, and a quiver made of a long brown tube sock with cord or grosgrain ribbon attached at the top and bottom to tie across Robin Hood's chest. Sticks in the quiver will pass as arrows.

THE 102nd DALMATION
• White leotard and tights or long underwear
• Black spots cut out of felt in random shapes and glued or stitched to the leotard and tights or long underwear
• Black felt ears glued to a white bathing cap
• White base and black makeup for spots on hands and face

KNIGHT
• Grey sweat pants and shirt
• Armor made from cardboard like a sandwich board and covered in aluminum foil. Decorate the front with colored tape.
• A helmet made from a plastic gallon milk carton cut half-way up and covered in foil. For a more elaborate hemlet, decorate a toilet paper tube or roll newspaper tightly and cut it for a plume. Attach to the top of the carton.
• Metal garbage can lid as a shield and newspaper rolled tightly for a lance.

PRINCESS
• A fancy nightie with colorful or gold braid wrapped empire style twice around and left to dangle at the back.

PIRATE
• Oversized, striped French sailor's shirt worn over black or brown pants tucked into high boots.
• Red bandana, a brass clip on earring, an eyepatch made of oak tag or felt
• Old leather belt with a cardboard sword tucked into it
• Burned cork smudged on the face to give a low, mean look; black wax to blacken out teeth.
