You will need:

  • white shirt
  • striped tie
  • dark trousers or jeans
  • black glasses
  • 1-2m black material for the cloak
  • black ribbon (optional)
  • black eyeliner

Two easy steps

1. The simplest cloak can be made by just tying the material around the shoulders and knotting at the front of the neck. Alternatively, sew on black ribbon to each side to make ties.

2. Draw on a scar with black eyeliner.
