It's Halloween and pretty much every little girl wants to be Elsa this year. Trouble is, Baby Girl thought she would be the only Elsa out and about on the search for treats. So I explained that while she can't be the only Elsa, she can be a unique Elsa if we alter her dress a little bit.
It was super easy to take a pre-made Elsa costume and fix it up, take a look:

Foam Snowflakes
I found these treasure hunting a couple of weeks ago. (Even though Baby Girl's next birthday is not until the end of next summer, she has decided that she will have a Frozen themed party. I don't know where she gets this tendency to plan so far ahead in advance...hee hee hee) So when we came upon a sale with Frozen birthday decor, we snatched it up. We got two big plastic bags full of Frozen themed items for $2 and these snowflakes were included.

The Finished Product
I used three colors of snowflakes; white, light blue and dark blue. Making sure to distribute the colors evenly, I used a hot glue gun to attach them to the outer layer of tulle on the skirt. I also positioned a larger light blue snowflake at the middle of the bodice and layered a smaller white snowflake on top. I love how this sets off the design!
Upgrading this dress was really quick and easy to do. I literally squeezed this project in between bath time and evening snack time while the kids played a bit. So easy, that I added in the creation of a hair accessories as well....couldn't help myself....;)

A hair clip fit for a Snowy Queen
I layered a few of the foam snowflakes until I had an arrangement that I liked, then glued them together as one larger piece. Then I took that piece and glued it to an alligator clip. Again, quick and easy! I made one for my niece too as she will also be Elsa this year ;)
So there you have it: a dress upgrade and two hair accessories in about 30 minutes!
Hope you enjoyed the upgrade, thanks for stopping by!
