First we cut the foam insulation board into a square, 30in X 30in (2 1/2 feet). Then cut large hole in the middle to fit around body. Using the real game board as a guide we drew the game onto the board using a pencil and ruler, then traced it with a marker. Trust me, I am no artist and this was very easy.

Then came coloring it in and adding finishing touches. We cut off the side of the game lid that said “Monopoly” and glued it on, then glued various game pieces on around the board such as: houses, hotels, dice, cards, etc.

Next all he had to do was dress up: tan pants, suit coat, red bow tie, monocle, mustache, cane and top hat. Slide the board game over his body and VIOLA! COOLEST Uncle Pennybags Monopoly Man Costume EVER!! He was quite a hit everywhere he went!
