While the tools are a bit archaic (a “jemmy” would be akin to a crowbar, and although a “centre bit” is a bit of a mystery, it is described in one reference from 1889 as a “spinner”), the swag bag is easily recognizable as the inspiration for the burglar’s bag.

Disney characters can have some simple and easy-to-copy outfits, and most of them are based on books.Look through EVERYONE'S wardrobes. Dad's tie may make a great Penny Crayon costume and an apron could be fashioned into an Alice in Wonderland dress.

It's eco-friendly too! 10. Charlotte the Spider – Charlotte’s Web by E B White Normal clothes + wellies + (toy) snail Book characters that wear pyjamas 4.
