OUTFIT TIPS
If you actually want to wear the Tom
Gates head, you can always attach
the head to a long piece of white
card and staple it around your head.
Another way to create Delia is simply to wear your hair long and add a big pair of black sunglasses and a scowl
Alternatively, don’t use the template for the T-shirt – just wear a long-sleeved top on top of a school shirt, with your shirt collars over the top.

YOU WILL NEEDWhite T-shirt
Template
Black fabric paint
Black trousers
Black shoes
1. Place the template under a white T-shirt, and carefully paint the image straight on to the T-shirt. You may want to place a plastic folder under the T-shirt so the fabric paint does not go through to the other side. Do the same for the ‘Dude’ T-shirt if you prefer that design instead.
FOR TOM’S SKETCHBOOK
1. Make a sketchbook prop by sticking ‘sketchbook’ on the front of a black book.
2. Add black trousers and black shoes.
Just add your favourite
Tom Gates adventure and you’re good
to go!
