Lee Ann Torrans Guide To Making Costumes

This is such an easy costume to wear with leggings and black high heels!

Cut a slit in the back.  Make a duct tape waist band and then duct tape on the the skirt.

I will be adding a net petticoat soon.  Come back for that.  I think this need the fullness.

Buy one square of red and white polka dot fabric.  If it is 45 inches wide -- buy 45 inches long.

Fold the fabric into fourths and cut in a circle.

I measure from the corner, draw my circle and cut.

Cut the waist.

Measure 4 inches across for a start and work from there!

After you snip out the corner snip out a circle for your waist.

Remember --- even a tiny trim will make a huge difference in the waist.

Save the extra fabric for the hair bow.

Ears are made with duct tape.

Cut the ears from a manilla file folder.

Cover with duct tape.

Cut two slits from the bottom of the ear to make the ear curve.

Cover the slits with more duct tape.

It is so much easier to tape the ears first and then cut the slits and tape the curve ear together.

Make the hair bow.

Hot Glue the hair bow and the duct tape Minnie Mouse Ears to a head band.
