Items you will need: (Hit your return key to start a new line)
Poster board
Quilt batting
Blue spray paint
Several yards of green fabric
Elastic ribbon
Large wooden beads (10-15, depending upon the size of your neck)
Red paint
Red shoes
Glue

Instructions:
Hair:
Roll the poster board into a cone-like shape and fit to your head. This will be the "frame" for the hair. Shape as desired. Glue the quilt batting to the cardboard. Rip off pieces to create a "curly" look. Once this dries, spray paint blue.

Dress:
Measure the green fabric to fit as a tube-dress. Use elastic to hold around the chest. Some sewing is required for this step unless you use the fabric as a sarong.

Necklace:
String the wooden beads to fit around your neck. Paint red. Wait until they are dry to put on your neck. :)

Add false eyelashes and yellow face paint to increase the effect.

Other information to consider:
The hair can be as high as you would like. But remember, the higher the hair, the harder it is to walk through doorways!
