DIY Lab Coat for Kids from a Men’s Shirt

My son has been working on a biography in school and decided to research Albert Einstein. For his final project he got to dress up as Albert Einstein and give an oral report.

He was so excited to wear a lab coat and wear a wig and mustache. I didn’t want to buy a cheap costume, so I decided to upcylce a white men’s shirt into a DIY lab coat.
