How Do You Make A Homemade Raggedy Ann Costume?
Go to a thrift store and buy a long-sleeved blue night gown. You can generally find this for less than 10 dollars.
Buy a white apron. You can embroider this yourself or buy it already embroidered.
At a Halloween store, you can buy red and white striped leggings. Match these with a pair of black boots.
For the hair, you can either dye your hair red, or you can buy a Raggedy Ann wig. Paint your face to mimic the doll’s including a red triangle on the nose and rose-red cheeks.

Young and old will recognize Raggedy Ann’s red hair and colorful, old-fashioned clothing. Little girls will enjoy dressing up to match a favorite rag doll.

Use the needle and red thread to sew through the yarn at the fold to secure it. Cut the bill off the baseball cap and glue the yarn to the inside. Trim the yarn to frame the face after you place the wig on the head. Use red masking tape to create red stripes on the white tube socks. La
