1
Paint a blouse with large black spots spaced sporadically all over the garment and make the shapes uneven. Pebbles traditionally wears green but has also been depicted in a brownish/gold top. A flair tank top or short baby doll dress is an excellent option, but since Pebbles is a cave girl, even an old T-shirt can work.
-
2
Cut off the sleeves of the shirt. Cut V-shaped nicks into the armholes, neck and bottom a few times with scissors to make the fabric look jagged.

3
Wear flesh-tone leggings or stockings, and a flesh-tone body suit if you want to cover more of your body beneath the costume or protect yourself from the cold.
-
4
Put on the top and a pair of baby doll bloomers or short shorts. Pebbles is traditionally shown with blue-green, but has also been drawn with black, white or brown bottoms.
-
5
Put on a pair of flesh-tone or pink ballet-style slippers or sandals. Pebbles traditionally goes barefoot, but slippers or sandals will suffice without ruining the look.

6
Spray your hair with red-colored hairspray, or put on a medium-length red wig. Pull some hair up to the top of your crown and secure it with an elastic band for a ponytail. Be sure to leave bangs.
Affix a plastic bone to the ponytail holder by slipping it through the elastic or securing it with a second elastic band.

7
Tease the hair slightly to make the ponytail poof up and make the bangs look shaggy and uneven.
