Difficulty level:
Almost as easy - some sewing

Items you will need: (Hit your return key to start a new line)
multi-colored fabric
face paint
big clown shoes
white gloves
thread and a needle
ruffles (optional)
red clown nose
multi-colored wig

Instructions:
Measure and cut the fabric so it will be an even match. Sew the two pieces of fabric together to form a big over-sized bodysuit. If you chose to use ruffles, sew it around the collar of the suit. After you've completed that, put the suit on just to make sure it fits (you might want to leave it a bit loose). If all goes well, you're all set with that step. Next, you have an adult paint your face like a clown. Put on your red nose and big shoes and wig and TA-DA! You're a clown.

Other information to consider:
Adult supervision would be advised while using the sewing equipment.
