Any idea on how to make harnesses out of everyday items?

Do you mean like for dragging weight for resistance running? Years ago, we made some out of old life vests, rope, and old tires.

rope through the shoulder girdle behind the back of the head that will work too if you're a boy scout the knot to tie for a loop that won't slip/tighten is a bowline |

why would you need a crotch harness if you're not rappelling? If all you intend to do is drag something via harness, you can make it simple and cheap....  so long as the shoulders are forward, a single loop behind the head can sustain resistance without slipping. |

Get some heavy fabric and fashion a "backpack" like design (flat piece in back. Shoulder straps that adjust.)
Get a rope on the back and your done.
That's what we did when I coached HS
