Made from a paper bag. Cut center of bag with flap on front. Cut v shape for neck. Make arm holes in expanded part of bag . I punch two holes in front to add a yarn string to fasten . Use staples to secure in places like neck and arm holes. I try to think of it like a sewing pattern. I cut arm holes big enough starting 4 inches from bottom. Make adorable fire fighter costume. We wore plastic kids fire hats from the fire station. We sang. “Hurry, Hurry Drive the Fire Truck!”
