Several people have written to request a snowflake costume pattern.
I have been unable to locate a manufactured snowflake costume so I have created a draft snowflake/star costume design for daring souls who sew to use as a rough guide in creating their own snowflake costumes. This idea is NOT tested and may not work at all, so I suggest you first locate a sewing pattern for something like pajamas with feet or another type of full body wear pattern to use as a guide. Also it might be a good idea to find an existing star shaped pillow pattern, if possible, so you can learn how to create a padded item.
I'm open for suggestion to improve this pattern Email: Snowflake
At this point material and instructions are estimated
Materials: (Use Fire Retardent fabrics)
2 large foam sheets, about 1/2 inch thick and about twice the width of the wearer I'd estimate.
Scissors/ sewing machine/ thread
White felt or fleece cloth material - (no idea how many yards)
Glitter?
Elastic
zipper
large buttons
velcro could be used in place of zipper and buttons
You could also just eliminate the leg and flap part of the costume to make the costume a pullover.
Instructions:
Use the snowflake costume front and snowflake costume back pics as guides and redraw the pattern onto very large reusable paper such as easel pad paper or large tissue paper. Use your large sketched patterns to cut the snowflake shapes (front anf back) out of foam and also to cut the fabric to match shape (it should be a little larger than the foam cut out.)As you can see, the instructions are sketchy, and that's because Snowflake does not sew well.
Good Luck!

Save the pics to your PC and resize to suit/print with your graphic's editor.
