Just in case you need to dress up as the Grinch someday.

I needed to look something like this.


First you need a santa hat.
Then you take your red fuzzy socks and you add white santa fur to the top of them.
You find a fuzzy kelly green sweater at a consignment store.

You stretch the arms out and draw your hand at the end of the sweater.

Then you sew on the lines and put your hand in the sweater to make sure you sewed the lines correctly.

Then you cut around the line, but make sure it's rough edges so it looks like grinch hands.

Buy green tights and get a pair of blacks shorts to wear so you aren't exposing your bootie to the world.

This is the sweater now with the grinch hands.

You beg your artist son to draw the grinch mask on green felt, then when it turns out too small you ask him to draw it a second time.  Then you cut it out and hot clue it to cardboard.  The color is really kelly green, but the lighting was bad.
This is the completed mask with it glued to the cardboard and cut out.
You get green makeup for your face.  You borrow a Santa coat from your friend.



In the end you look like this. 
Another view.
This is how I look normally.  Found this book in Target and had to have a picture with it.  Too funny.
