The BFG costume is my favorite kind of costume because that can be pulled together inexpensively depending upon what you have on hand or can borrow. Big Friendly Giant Costume Essentials Start with a stripey jumper. It can be the start of many an easy costume including Dennis the Menace, Minnie the Minx, Where's Wally, or Horrid Henry. The safety vest was a one-size fits a very big adult, so I had to modify it a little first. I had Quinn try on the vest and then I folded and taped it in place to make it fit better. What’s more, all the images of homemade costumes I’m sharing are from actual parents that have made it themselves, not something suggested in a magazine that seems impossible when you have to make it yourself!

Big Friendly Giant Dream Catching Net To make the vest I decided to cover a safety vest from the dollar store in brown duct tape.
