DH and I are off to a 60th birthday in three weeks and the theme is countries.
We are looking for ideas?? Iceland (the shop) no longer do plastic carrier bags so our idea of cobbling together something out of them is out). We’re not looking to buy or hire expensive outfits so if anyone has any ideas that would be much appreciated. The more unusual the better. Thanks 😊

One of you could wear some old white garments with a big red cross drawn/pinned on, as a homage to the Swiss flag.

Here's an odd one, also flag-related. Would be a talking point, and simple to make. Scroll down to the North Caucasian Emirate flag. https://www.uk-featherflags.co.uk/blog/bizarre-flags/

If you can get hold of a yellow fluorescent tabard and can make a placard saying "en grève " you could go as France.
