How to Make a Hobo Clown Costume

Step 9 Putting It All Together

So, you made your costume and you've got what you need to make yourself up. There's only one thing left to do: put it all together!

Here are some quick tips to make enjoying your costume a bit easier:

When it comes to getting ready for the occasion, be it Halloween or a costume party, you'll want to put on your makeup first. There's no sense in getting dressed up and risking getting makeup on your costume while putting it on.

If you plan on drinking anything (punch, booze, whatever), consider using a straw. You'll be surprised how much your makeup and that awkward red nose gets in the way of a cup.

Also, while baggy is good, if you find your jacket sleeves are covering your hands, or you can't stand dragging the bottoms of your slacks around, it's okay to cuff them. You might want to consider not driving if your shoes are too big--or at least taking your right shoe off while trying to drive :)

When it comes time to get ready, after your makeup, the rest is easy. Get dressed, grab your nose and your hobo suitcase and hit the road!
