- 1). Wear a brightly colored tunic top such as purple, green or gold, which are signature colors for a jester.
- 2). Add a pair of black tights or knit pants. For a more colorful option, wear pants or tights in the same color as your tunic.
- 3). Use fabric shears to cut a pointed collar for your jester costume. Cut the collar from brightly colored fabric that complements your tunic top. Make sure your cuts are pointed (as if you were cutting small triangles).
- 4). Add beads. Beads in gold, purple, green and silver worn around your neck will accessorize your ensemble.
- 5). Make a scepter by wrapping aluminum foil around a baton.
- 6). Paint your face with diamond and star shapes. Jesters often used colors such as black, silver and white on their faces.
- 7). Turn any ready-made floppy hat into a jester's hat by attaching bells around the edges using a needle and thread.
