Things You'll Need:
- Red material
- Elastic
- Wood beads
- String
- White paint
- Yellow body paint
- Red shoes
- Yellow temporary hair spray
-
Step 1
Make a tube shaped dress out of red material. Sew elastic into the top to hold it on, and cut a jagged edge in the bottom of it. Lisa's dress isn't smooth and hemmed at the bottom so make it ragged looking for a more authentic costume.
-
Step 2
String several wooden beads to make a necklace and spray paint them white. Similar to her mother Marge, Lisa Simpson always wears her trademark necklace.
-
Step 3
Cover your face, arms, shoulders and legs with yellow body paint to get that famous Simpson flesh tone.
-
Step 4
Find some red baby-doll-style shoes at a thrift store or garage sale. If you can't find that style shoe, red flats would do as well.
-
Step 5
Make that trademark Lisa Simpson hair by spraying yellow temporary hair spray in your hair. When it dries, spike your hair so that it forms a row of peaks across your head. If your hair is too long to spike, buy an inexpensive wig at a thrift store and use the same process.

Step 6
Carry a toy saxophone with you and get into character by telling folks about how much you love watching the "McNeil-Lehrer Report" on television and that you're a vegetarian.
