3 Star Costume Rating

What age group is this costume for?
Preschool and Younger
Elementary School
Middle School
High School & Beyond

Estimated time required to make this costume:
5 hours

Difficulty level:
Almost as easy - some sewing

Items you will need: (Hit your return key to start a new line)
felt, glue, puffy paint, marker, plastic ivy leaves
green pants and sweatshirt, green face paint, green hair spray

Instructions:
Cut out leaves out of felt, paste them onto a large piece of felt in the shape of a toga. Detail the leaves with a marker and puffy paint for dimension. Wait for them to dry and then either sew them to toga or hot glue them to it. Use six leaves and sew them together in a circle for the sock area. Get some plastic ivy leaves for the headdress. Wrap those leaves around your head. Do the same for both costumes.

Other information to consider:
Paint face and hands green, color hair green, too. It may be cold, so wear green sweats under the costume.
