How to dress up as a Disney character
It made me 
"It was very green :)"
How I did it: I decided to dress up as Jiminy Cricket in the end, because the first thing I actually bought while looking to throw together a costume, was a top hat like his: Blue with a red band. (I found it at a party/joke shop.)
Brown trousers were easy enough (though I did make them myself) and for his vest I decided to simply sow a large yellow "button" on a sleeveless top - I had to wear the costume for the largest part of a fairly hot day.
Together with my mum I made the large upstanding collar he wears and a simple white scarf to go over it (both of them lose; you can just tie them round your neck)
Then I needed a tailcoat, for which I found a nice dark blue fabric, so my mum sowed that one (sometimes she's fantastic!)
Last but not least, I painted my face green - my lips a few shades darker - lines for the nose and cheeks - and large white eyes (over my own).
All in all it was pretty awesome :)
Lessons & tips: Just do it! - that is, if you like dressing up at all.
