A t-shirt (red, black or white), a large piece of black felt, another smaller piece of red felt, a black skirt, wings (you can get them at Claire's), red tights, small styrofoam balls, red paint, wire, and a headband

Instructions:
Cut out the letters "L V E B U G" out of black felt. Cut a heart for the O out of red fabric. you can either glue or sew these on. Then, to make your antennas, paint a heart on each of the styrofoam balls and put them on the wire. Attach the wire to the headband by winding it around the headband. Put it all together with the skirt, tights, and wings and you're set!

Other information to consider:
You can accent the costume by putting makeup on. I suggest little hearts with eyeliner by your eyes. You can also get a stamp that has lips on it and stamp people and say "you've been bit by the love bug." HAVE FUN!!!
