DIY Ms Frizzle Costume

Step 1

Find your base. It can be a trench coat or a solid-colored dress. We got ours at Goodwill.

Step 2

Cut out planets, stars, moons, and more from your felt. I cut out stars in different sizes, quarter moons, and cut circles for the planets. Then I added stripes and rings to the planets. The sun is two pieces with the rays being back behind the main circle.Have fun making embellishments!

Step 3

Attach all the shapes to the dress with fabric glue. Add them randomly all over the front, back, and arms of the dress. There are no rules – keep adding until you like the way it looks!

Step 4

Set the entire dress aside until it's dry.

Step 5

Find a stuffed lizard and attach it to the dress with safety pins.

Step 6

For the shoes, find solid-colored shoes and tie some foam stars on them.

Step 7

Cut the front and back pieces out of stiff yellow felt for the purse.

Step 8

Add the bus pattern to these large yellow felt pieces with transfer paper.

Step 9

Cut out more felt for the purse's sides and bottom. Sew all the pieces together. Add ribbon for handles.
