To make this simple costume, cut a platter from a large circle of cardboard with a hole in the middle for child's legs to fit through. Tie on some off-white yarn strings like suspenders. Then hot glue random off white yarn all over the plate. Next, hot glue some yarn pom-poms for meatballs. Once the child is in the costume, drape extra yarn around the shoulders.Carry a small can of Parmesan cheese.
My daughter won a $5 prize in a costume contest for this one. Since it only cost $2 to make, we made money!
This is absolutely adorable...congrats on winning the moola! What a cute kid, too!

How beautiful. Look at that little face with the huge smile. Someone made a little girl outrageously happy. Cute, cute, cute!

I think "legs" is correct. Suspenders are holding the flat, oval doughnut-shape disk aloft.

I'm sure you meant to say cut holes for the arms, not the legs to go into... but I absolutley love this costume what a wonderfully clever idea. thank you for sharing
