Lady-Bug Costume

This costume is quick and easy to make yourself. For this we need: a pair of black trousers, a thick red jumper, a black hat and lots of black and white card-board paper, perhaps some wrapping foil, black fabric and wire for the feelers. First I bought a pair of black trousers, then a thick red jumper, a black hat and lots of white and black cardboard paper, and maybe some wrapping. Some black fabric for the feelers. We still had some wire for the feelers in the garage.

Firstly cover the wire with the black fabric and sew the feelers to the hat. Cut wings out of the black cardboard paper and stick on three white dots and some of the wrapping foil; that way you can see the white dots but they are still protected. Then simply sew the wings tightly to the jumper (for smaller children it is advisable to use braces). Whoever wishes can then paint their face with suitable paint. The cost for this sweet costume is approximately fifteen Euros.
