California Raisins Costumes

• Large Black Trash Bag
• Dark Pants
• Dark Long-Sleeve Shirt
• White Gloves
• Sneakers

This California Raisin Costume is a cheap costume to make, but the costume is really cool! First, you need to create the "raisin" body shape out of a large black trash bag. You can also use several cheap plastic table cloths in a dark purple color. (Try the Dollar Store or Walmart to find the cheap tablecloths) Tape and staples will be your new best friend! Make sure to cut holes for your arms. And remember to be careful any time you put a plastic bag over your head... Ensure you can see and breathe easily!

You'll want to wear a dark pair of pants and a dark colored long sleeve top. The white gloves and sneakers will add the finishing touches. Next, you'll want to consider the accessories you will add to the costume. Use the pictures as your guide!

• Jumbo Sunglasses
• Big Bow Tie
• Microphone
• Musical Instrument (like a tambourine, toy saxophone or trumpet)

Pick and choose which accessories you want to add to your California Raisin Costume! If you dress up as a group for the costume party, you can each carry a different musical instrument or microphone. And the best thing about the California Raisins is there is no limit to how many raisins can be in the band. Be prepared to show off your "I Heard it Through the Grapevine" dance moves!
