Slip the white cylinder tunic over your head, ensuring your arms can move freely through the armholes.

Attach the orange and red tinsel garland or paper flames around the top collar of the tunic to create the 'burning' effect near your neck.

Pin the green felt leaf accent to the center of the white tunic.
- 5

- 6
Optional: Carry a green leaf prop or wear green sunglasses to lean into the theme.
Makeup & hair
