How to Make a Hobo Clown Costume

Step 6 The Flower

Many of the paintings you’ll find online depicting hobo clowns have them awkwardly holding a small, delicate flower (a very artistic juxtaposition).  That being said, sticking a flower in your jacket pocket makes for a very nice touch.

The flowers used for our costumes were found in the craft section at Wal-Mart as part of an artificial bouquet. Real flowers work too though, if you want to go that route.

A fair warning: chances are, while you're at your costume party or passing out candy,  someone will want want to know if your flower squirts water (you are dressed as a clown, after all). If you can find a squirting flower, I say go for it!
