To prepare the olives, take two green foam balls and stick them on a wooden dowel. Once they are placed on the stick, draw an off-center red dot on each green foam ball with red puff paint. Allow the paint to dry overnight.Spread the green T-shirt on a flat surface. Draw vertical lines from the top of the shirt to the bottom with green puff paint, dividing them by about half an inch. It's okay if the lines aren't perfectly straight, because celery stalks aren't perfectly straight either. Allow the paint to dry overnight.Roll out the red cloth on the floor. (Trust me, you'll need some space.) Measure out how much fabric you will need to surround the wreath frame by rolling the frame over the fabric and marking it with a pen. At this point, cut the fabric. Fold the edge of the fabric over the frame and secure the edge of the fabric with a spoon of hot glue. Take care not to burn your fingers. Once it cools down, trim off any excess fabric.Once the frame of the wreath is wrapped in red cloth, take two pieces of yarn and tie them to the frame of the wreath to make straps. You'll probably need someone to hold the frame of the wreath while you tie the yarn.When you're ready to hit the city in a bloody Mary costume, don a green T-shirt, followed by the red drink itself. If you have long enough hair, pull it back in a ponytail and stick artificial leaves in it; alternatively, you can secure the leaves with hair clips. If you don't have long enough hair to support the leaves, you can stick it to the headband with hot glue.Take the olives and go out the door. Hot sauce is optional, although highly recommended.
