• 2 buttons
• Long-sleeved yellow shirt
• Yellow tights

Directions

1. Step 1

   Print the Tasha Costume Templates. Enlarge the dress's front and back templates to fit your child. Use the enlarged templates to cut out the dress pieces from the orange felt.

2. Step 2

   Sew or glue the side seams of the dress. (If gluing, turn the dress inside-out after done so the seams will be on the inside of the dress.)

3. Step 3

   Cut out the flower shapes from yellow felt and glue them to the dress.

4. Step 4

   Sew on the two buttons and cut slits for buttonholes.

5. Step 5

   To make the ears, cut out the shapes from yellow felt, fold and apply glue to the bottom tab, and affix the ears to the headband or the hat. Let dry.

6. Step 6

   With face paint, apply a layer of yellow to the face. Use black to make a mouth.

7. Step 7

   Dress your child in the shirt, leggings and mary jane shoes. Then have her pull on the dress. Button it up—and don the ears!
