covered in fabric can be attached
to a similarly covered baseball
cap. For the trunk, attach a
batting- or newspaper-filled tube
to the bill.) For clowns of any
age, use a multi-colored outfit
with a funny wig or hat. The girl
in the tutu wears tights, a tutu
(of course) and lots of sparkles.

Cat who
the fishbowl
Take the black cat
costume (black
clothes, ears. tail,
facepaint for nose
and whiskers) to the
next level by painting
a fishbowl on the
belly of the black
shirt. Don't forget a
startled fish or two!
Maternity:
Skeleton plus one
Again, take a classic
costume up a notch.
On your black
ensemble, paint bones in white,
corresponding to the areas of
the body covered. But include a
smiling baby skeleton in the
appropriate area! Do an online
Google image search to brush
up on your skeletal anatomy;
use glow-in-the-dark paint for an
extra punch.
