Dress Up Vests

What to do:

Brown paper grocery bags make great vests that can be decorated by children and worn to represent many different costumes.

  1. Cut a hole in the bottom of the bag for the child’s neck.
  2. Cut holes for the sleeves, one on each of the smaller sides of the bag.
  3. Slit all the way up one of the wider sides for the front of the vest.
