Easy Pope Costume (optionally No Sew!)

This is a very simple pope costume for a child (though it could easily be modified for an adult).

It only took us 1 night and about $20 to make this costume. 1 trip to the fabric store for the trim pieces and taffeta.

After our trip to Italy in 2010, we decided to recreate some of the memories for our Italian costume theme.

Step 1 Supplies

1 - white button down shirt (adult-sized for a kid's costume)
2 - yards of white satin-y/taffeta type material (main part of the costume / hat covering)
1 - blue robe (for use as a belt -- we used some graduation honor cords we had around the house)
2 - 8.5x11 sheets of thin craft foam (the basis of the hat)
1 - can of spray adhesive
1 - 1' of light blue fringe trim
1 - strip of light blue fabric (sash)
2 - cross appliques (iron on)
1 - 3' wide/fancy gold ribbon (hat trim)
1 - small square of red felt (inside of the hat)
1 - big/fake plastic "diamond" ring
1 - hot glue gun / glue sticks
1 - sewing machine (optional)
5? - safety pins to hold things together
