YOU WILL NEED

• Large cardboard box
• Small tablecloth
• Craft glue
• Large plastic plate
• Cream-colored yarn
• Brown pom-poms
• Red felt
• Baseball cap
• Paper napkin
• Plastic utensils
• Plastic salt and pepper shakers
• Plastic vase with flowers

HERE'S HOW

Cut out a two-foot-wide (.61-meter-wide) circular piece of cardboard. Cut holes in the center of the cardboard and tablecloth for your head. Glue the tablecloth to the cardboard. Cut a hole for your neck out of the plate. Slit the plate so you can wear it as a collar. Glue yarn (spaghetti), pom-poms (meatballs), and red felt (sauce) to the plate and cap. Glue napkin, utensils, salt and pepper shakers, and a vase with flowers on top of the tablecloth.
