How to Make a Baby New Year Costume

Whether you're dressing up for New Year's Eve, Halloween or a random costume party, a Baby New Year costume is a fun and simple choice. Traditionally, Baby New Year personifies the beginning of a new calendar year, and is mentored by Father Time. With a few key elements, you can create your own Baby New Year Costume that is both traditional and adds some fun new twists.

Instructions

1

Drape a wide ribbon or sash, similar to the ones worn by beauty pageant contestants, diagonally across your chest. The sash should read, "Happy New Year," and include the new year's date.

2

Swathe yourself in white cloth around your hips or an actual diaper. Pin with a few baby blue safety pins for added effect.

3

Carry a festive New Year's accessory in your hand, such as a martini glass, a bottle of champagne or a noisemaker.

4

Wear an old-fashioned black top hat on your head, like the one worn by Frosty the Snowman and the Monopoly Man.
