When I was a little girl, I was a bag of Jelly Beans for Halloween. It only seemed reasonable to repeat the costume again. Not only is this a cute costume for children, it's a comfortable costume for an adult and a PERFECT costume for pregnant ladies.
If you can find clear trash bags, then this just got a lot simpler for you. I discovered in my hunt that they are mostly only available to corporate cleaners. While I was able to get my hands on a few, it didn't seem fair to tell you to hit up your local grocery store and beg for a few trash bags. Instead, Mr. Hedin suggested using visquine - also known as plastic sheeting - to create our own "trash bag."
You'll need
tape (preferably strapping)
ribbon
plastic sheeting
small balloons
marking pen or lettering stickers
Step 1 :: Cut plastic sheeting so it fits from your armpits to your knees and wraps around your body twice.
Step 2 :: Tape together the length of the plastic sheeting forming a very large 'tube.'
Step 3 :: Tape together the bottom of the plastic sheeting forming a very large 'bag.'
Step 4 :: Cut leg holes
Step 5 :: Write "Jelly Beans" on the bag or use lettering stickers (like my dad did)
Step 6 :: Slice small slits near the top of the bag and thread ribbon through the slits.
Step 7 :: Step through the leg holes and fill the bag with small balloons.
Step 8 :: Tie the ribbon.
* Note * I did not add arm holes to the bag and tied in, instead, below my armpits. You could hoist the bag up further and cut arm holes near the top. Be sure to try it on before cutting!
