Makeup (orange and white)
Green temporary hair color spray
Brown turtleneck
Brown socks
White shoes
White felt capri pants (you make)
Instructions:
Using the capri pants pattern as a guide, cut the felt, adding a half-circle about the size of a pie pan at either hip. Use velcro to fasten to avoid having to add a zipper. Next, cut two white strips to attach as suspenders that criss-cross in the front and back. The capri pants should be a little loose. Dress. Curl hair up at ends (shoulder length hair is ideal for this). Push some of the hair in the front to form the "wave" at the top of the head, and spray the hair green. For makeup, cover the face in orange, adding white lips and white eyebrows.
Other information to consider:
My daughter was in 5th grade when she wore this costume and she LOVED it. She stood out as original and "new". The costume was much simpler to do than to explain.
