Cops and Robbers Costume (For a Group)

costumes

Time: 1 hour
Effort: Quick and easy — no sewing required
Materials:

4 or 5 rolls of black electrical tape

Scissors

Iron

White iron-on cloth

(For cops)

Dark blue sweats

Keystone-cop-type hat

Plastic policeman's stick

(For robbers)

Grey sweats

Instructions: For each cop, cut out the word POLICE and a large star from the cloth, and iron them on the blue sweatshirt. For each robber, make a striped pattern in electrical tape over both pieces of the sweats, and then print out a large number and tape it to the back of the sweatshirt.

Other details: The tape does start to come off after a couple of hours, so this is not a costume that lasts a long time!
