Make Your Own Little Red Riding Hood Costume
Wrap the red fabric around you, draping it over your head and clasping it at the collarbone to wear as you would a cape. Have a friend mark where your fingers are holding each side of the fabric. Lay the red fabric down on the ground draw lines extending diagonally outward from each mark downward. Cut just outside the lines with scissors and hem the edges of the garment. Sew the gold cord to the sides of the cape near the mark you have created.
Wear your black dress and black stockings and shoes. Use curlers to create a wavy style and pin back the sides of your hair or use a blow dryer to create a girl-next-door flip accented by the headband. Don the cape and carry the wicker basket and get ready to take on the big, bad wolf!
