Crepe paper is as beautiful as cloth for making carnival, pageant or dance costumes and much more economical.

Almost all costumes are made on a muslin slip or pajama suit. Silkateen is the best thread to use, when sewing by hand, but many costumes may be almost entirely pasted or glued together.

Add a gathered skirt of white crepe, with a long overskirt of red fringe and a shorter one of poinsettia crepe, edged with a double ruffle of red. Wide sash of red.

Hat: One piece of white crepe 25 inches long, 10 inches wide. Stitch 1 3/4 inches from edge of hat a very full ruffle of Poinsettia Crepe No. 208, 6 inches wide, edged with double ruffle of red. Paste ends together and gather at top. Turn up and flute white edge of hat.
