| Step 1: Cut 1st pillow case in half lengthwise. Cut along seam to open up. |
 |
| Step 2: Take one of the halves just cut and tie a knot in the center of the length. Tie two more knots on either side (for a total of five knots). Leave the remaining material loose. Your daughter can tie this around her head for a simple headband/crown. |
 |
| Step 3: Using 2nd pillowcase, cut an opening for the head by cutting along the closed end of the case approximately 8 inches in the middle. Leave the sides closed for the shoulders. Create armholes by cutting along seams beginning approximately 6 inches down from the corner. |
 |
| Step 4: Take the second length of fabric cut from the 1st pillowcase. Cut in half. Thread one half through the neck and arm hole. Tie and allow fabric to fall on either side of shoulder to create a detail. Repeat on other side. |
 |
| Step 5: Cut 9 long strands of ribbon yarn (enough to wrap around your daughter's waist three times). Tie a knot approximately 6 inches from end (leaving ends to dangle) and braid. Tie again approximately 6 inches from end. This forms the belt for the gown. |
