Here's how to make your own smock:
Lay garbage bag on a flat surface, and cut a large hole for your child's head from the bottom of the bag.
Help your child get into it...
Here's the trick to a good fit. Gather the shoulders, and tie a knot in back of your child.

I've found these work well for protecting clothes, and we have re-used our smocks many times.
Mark, if you are wondering where your large collection of old, ratty, hole-y t-shirts ended up.... we didn't use them for smocks, or anything. Umm... Noooooooo... not us!

A very useful tutorial! Thanks :)
You're welcome! Now you'll be prepared for all your messy art projects! :-)
Another super idea.
I've actually done this one before! But I didn't know to tie it in back to make it fit better... that would definitely make all the difference! I will certainly try this. Little Bear and Pufferfish are INFAMOUS for getting paint all over their clothes... so much that I usually have them paint nekked!
Thanks, jennwa!
Little Bear, I know you are not alone in the nekked painting strategy. LOL I found just by tying a knot in the back made the fit much better, and the kids were more comfortable in them. Thanks for stopping by!
very nice and easy! Love the easy clean up :) Thanks for linkng to Kid Friendly Friday. I love your header. SO cute!
Sarah, you are very welcome, and thank you so much for hosting Kid Friendly Friday. I think that is a fabulous idea and I love seeing what all the other bloggers come up with!
We use old uniforms from retail work way-back-when!
