Pile of Laundry Costume

costumes

Time: Less than an hour
Effort: Easy - no sewing required
Materials:

  • Clothes
  • Old outfit
  • Safety pins
  • Instructions: Just pin the clothes onto an old outfit!

    Tips: Don't use too many clothes. Space them out well. It can get VERY heavy!
    Variation: Use an old laundry basket and cut out the bottom. Have it waist high. If too loose, use socks to go through handles and pin sock to sweatsuit. Add a knitted cap with some socks and stuff pinned to it, or a hat made from a washed-out Clorox bottle. A fabric softener ball makes a nice pendant necklace (for a child old enough for a necklace)...a few gently used fabric softener sheets add to the ensemble, too.
