Dress-ups From a hypermarket/large supermarket or a market buy inexpensive white or stripy T-shirts and shorts/tracksuit pants/dirndl skirts all with an elastic waist and with a good pair of scissors make them look raggedy. Buy offcuts of material in red or black and cut them into headscarfs, bandannas, neckties. Cut a narrow length of red fabric to wrap around for a sash/belt or an old dressing gown belt will do. Ask your mums if they could donate any bling jewellery. It is amazing what you can find at the equivalent of a local discount or pound store. Daiso Japanese Stores are great for sourcing bits and pieces. To make a bandanna Take a square of material and fold into a triangle. Take the points of the triangle to your left and right in both your hands, tilt your head forward, place the long side of the triangle against your forehead and tie a knot in the back. Tuck the loose corner under the knot. 4 P a g e
