Costume inspiration

 The costume was pretty easy to put together and you could definitely glue everything but I decided to pin it so I could reuse the shirt. 

MATERIALS NEEDED
  • Fabric glue/safety pins 
  • Square of yellow felt 
  • Yellow ribbon (small to medium size)
  • Black ribbon (medium to large size)
  • White ribbon (large size)
  • Square of red foam 
  • Red shirt
  • silver/white bottoms
  • black socks
SHIRT
  • Red shirt (I got mine from the men's Activewear section in Target)
  • 3 yellow stripes of varying length with 6 yellow circles at the end-I just cut ribbon and then glued the circles on out of felt. I then just pinned them to my shirt 
  • White ribbon for the large straps- I measured them over my shoulders and safety pinned them and criss-crossed them in the middle. I glued where the straps overlapped and cut it. I let it dry for 24 hours 
  • I measured black ribbon around my waist and tied it in a bow (I left extra incase I needed to adjust it later). I cut out the yellow square for the belt buckle and glued it on
  • I then glued the white ribbon to the black ribbon and let it dry for 24 hours.
  • After drying, I pinned everything to the shirt. Make sure to pin it high as there is a part of the shirt that is just red at the bottom. 
  • If it is cold, feel free to add a red shirt underneath. 
  • HAT 
  • red hat as a base (I used a sparkle athletic visor) 
  • Red foam to make the tall part. 
  • Yellow ribbon either glued or sewed on to the red. You need 2 ribbons. 
  • I cut out a yellow circle for the top of the hat 
  • I took 8 white pipe cleaner and glued it to the hat and let dry
  • When it is time to wear it, you safety pin it to the hat and also safety pin the hat together 
BOTTOMS-I had a silver sparkle skirt but any white or silver bottoms would work 

SOCKS-I wore black Procompression socks to represent the black boots the soldiers wear 


That was basically it! My grandma made the hat and did a great job and I worked on the shirt. It was pretty easy to put together.
