How do I make a cheap DIY Pendant of Life?

You can easily make one by cutting a circle out of cardboard or yellow craft foam, drawing the Olmec face with a black Sharpie, and hanging it from a red ribbon or yarn.

Is this costume good for cold weather?

Because it features shorts and a t-shirt, it is best for warm weather. For colder nights, layer a neutral long-sleeve gray or black shirt underneath the team tee.
