- <h1>The Juggler</h1><br /> <br/>Begin with brightly coloured or patterned pants and a shirt. Cut <br /> black and white duct tape into squares and cover an old or second-hand vest by positioning the squares diagonally row by row. Add felt flowers to the pants and vest, and use safety pins and duct tape to affix a fake flower (stem on) into a hole in the centre of a hat. To make juggling pins: cover empty plastic pop bottles with white duct tape and wrap electrical tape around diagonally. <br /> <br/><b>Cost:</b> $18. <br /> <br/><br/>Grooming by Buffy Shields, Judy Inc.<br />

- <h1>The Strong Man</h1><br /> <br/>Attach black fabric strips vertically to both sides of a pair of red shorts. Cut the neck out of a striped tank so that it becomes low cut. (Tip: After cutting, apply a little hairspray on the edges to avoid fraying.) Use marker eyeliner to draw on chest hair and a moustache. Give him a barbell made from a black-tape-covered dowel rod and partially inflated black balloons. <br /> <br/><b>Cost:</b> $12. <br /> <br/><br/>Grooming and makeup by Buffy Shields, Judy Inc.

- <h1>The Clown</h1><br /> <br/>Cut the legs off a pair of overalls to make a skirt. Pin a wide hem (about an inch) and sew in fabric elastic. When finished, pull and tie the elastic to create a bubble skirt. Glue three large pompoms down the centre of the overalls. To make cuffs, cut off the feet from a pair of socks and attach lace to the ankle piece. For the collar, layer pieces of wide organza trim and glue on a ribbon to tie around neck. Accessorize with an oversized bow (attached to a headband) and boots that have been spray-painted red and coated in sparkles. Add face paint to finish. <br /> <br/><b>Cost:</b> $22. <br /> <br/><br/>Hair and makeup by Buffy Shields, Judy Inc.
