Frosty the Snowman Costume

I took one of my husband's old hooded sweatshirts and decided to turn it into my 3 year-old son's Halloween costume.

First, I cut the sleeves off of the sweatshirt to make arm holes. Next, I found and old standard bed pillow, cut it open and pulled all of the cotton out. Using a spray adhesive, I attached the cotton to the sweatshirt.

In order to make it round in the middle, I took a round pop-up clothes hamper, cut the bottom of it out and attached it to the inside if the sweatshirt with safety pins.

For the final touch, I coated the outside of the entire costume with spray adhesive and sprinkled snow-like looking sparkles all over it.

I added 3 black buttons to the middle, glued on a hat (which I made using old Christmas decorations), wrapped my scarf around his neck, and this is what we ended up with.

The total cost for this costume was less than $10.00.
