Powdered wigs are so 1776. Celebrate the Fourth in 2010 sporting a crazy red, white, and blue pompadour. Or, if you prefer, wear the tulle creation as a tutu.

Materials

• Piece of elastic cut to fit your child's head or waist, with the ends tied together

• 1 (6-inch-wide) roll each of red, white, and blue tulle (available in many craft and fabric stores)

Instructions

1. Stretch the elastic band around a notebook. Cut two 16-inch lengths of tulle from one of the rolls. Layer the pieces and tie them onto the elastic band as shown. Continue adding strips, in blocks of color or in alternating colors, until the band is covered. (Our wig has 27 knots, nine of each color.)

2. Have your child try on the wig or tutu. Add more tulle if necessary, then even out the ends with scissors.
