Items you will need: (Hit your return key to start a new line)
Orange overall shorts (can dye white ones)
Black & white striped leggings
Long sleeve white t-shirt
Yellow and red felt

Scissors
Black pen
Blue dress (your infant's size)
Clown makeup (red, black pencil)
Black canvas shoes

Instructions:
First, cut full moons and half moons out of the felt, and small dots out of the red felt.
Then you hot glue the red dots to the moons as noses, and with the pen, draw smiles on the faces of the moons...Then glue them onto the sleeves and chest area of the shirt. Make sure that you have orange overalls...(dye white ones if you don't have some already...orange food coloring should work if you don't want to keep them orange). For the hat, you have to cut holes in the sides for your pigtails to come through...curl the pigtails and tease them slightly. Paint them black with the hair spray. With the makeup pencil, draw dots (freckles) on your cheeks and make your eyebrows point up...(^^). Then paint your nose red, and paint the baby's nose red. Dress her in the blue dress and black socks....

Other information to consider:
Dye white overalls if you don't have some orange ones already... orange food coloring should work if you don't want to keep them orange!
