CARDBOARD SNOWMAN COSTUME


Do you want to build the best DIY snowman costume ever? Even thou I've grown up with hot summer Christmas's in Melbourne, I lived in the UK for a while and fell in love with their magical snowy Christmas's and making snowmen in the snow. It seemed only natural for Christmas that I make a DIY for a cardboard snowman costume.

I think this has become the kids favourite costume, since I made these for the boys every time someone enters the house they race of to put them on and surprise the guests. (Yes they are a bit of a show off the pair of them.)

This costume is NOT extremely difficult to make however it does require some leave of coordination, but if you are a crafty person you should have no trouble making this snowman cardboard costume. You actually might even have a lot of fun.

The costume template makes the snowman about 95cm high, and 50cm wide. This should fit most

children under 10 years old. (for a larger size check out our top tip at the end of the template download.)

Download the template and make it out of some

Most Ikea boxes will do as long as they are single walled

~ A1 printer (use a printing service)
