How Do You Make A Rodeo Clown Costume?
A rodeo clown looks like a tarnished and colorful cowboy.
The Outfit
- Pants: Take a baggy pair of jeans and cut them in a jagged fashion to right below the knee. Wear colorful stockings underneath. Attach scarves around the belt area. You want to wear as many things as possible to "distract a bull."
