DIY Halloween Costume: Elsa and Olaf

I know tons of people love Frozen, no matter what age you are! Anyways, this is gonna be a long, and more advanced one, as I'm covering 2 costumes (Anna's outfit is more intricate). Let's go... Or shall I say let it go? I'm pretty sure most of you started singing the song, I know I did :)

Elsa

You will need:
  • A blue maxi skirt
  • Blue tube top
  • Blue glitter
  • Mod Podge
  • Sheer, glittery fabric (Get it here)
  • Blue panty hose
To make the "dress":

1. On the bottom of the skirt, use the snowflake stencil and apply ModPodge. Then, apply the blue glitter. Do this until the bottom of the skirt is covered. Use Elsa's picture as a reference.
2. On the tube top, apply ModPodge again and dust the glitter over it as well.
3. For the glittery sleeves, I could not find a long sleeve to fit the purpose, so I made this really cool diy! Take your blue panty hose and around the crotch area, cut a half circle to fit your head. Now it is a shirt! Cool huh?
4. Cut the length of your cape from the blue, glittery fabric (it varies for each person).

To put it together:

1. After you put on your skirt, put on your diy top.
2. On top of that, put on your tube top and tuck the ends of the "cape" in the tube top.
3. French braid your hair and add some snowflake accessories!

That's it for Elsa's costume!



Now it is time for Olaf! Winters a good time to stay in and cuddle, but put me in summer and I'll be a... happy snowman! I thought this was hilarious (cause puddle).

Olaf

You will need:
  • White beanie
  • White turtle neck shirt
  • White gloves
  • White pants or short and tights
  • Brown pipe cleaners
  • Black felt
  • Orange paper
  • Stretchy string
How to do it:

1. Cut three black circles, one small, one middle sized, and one larger.
2. Super glue the black circles on your turtle neck from smallest on top to larger on bottom. You know what it should look like. It's a snowman.
3. Take (3) 4 inch pieces of brown pipe cleaners. Take the end and secure it on the beanie by pulling it through the inside to make little hairs.
4. Put it all on and zap!

Congratulations, you have mastered the art of freezing. Haha just kidding, but how awesome would that be? Pretty cool, but this was so much fun to create!
