For the costume, it was really simple and pretty inexpensive. To make the hat, I went to Party City and purchased a $1 plastic top hat. I then cut a small piece of a leaf and holly berries from a decorative piece that I purchased at Hobby Lobby and hot glued it to the hat.
I then went to Walmart and bought a plain white sweater for $5. I then purchased some large buttons from Hobby Lobby for $2.50 each and hot glued them to the center of the shirt.
For the nose, my hubby helped me out with this. We took a scrap piece of orange cardstock and rolled it up into a cone shape and taped it in place. We then added elastic to the cone so it could fit over your nose.
To finish the outfit off, I had the rest of the items already on hand. I added some white gloves, white lounge pants a red scarf and some black boots. My hubby says that I am not a snowman, I am a snow"mam", lol.
