How to make a Snow Queen Inspired Costume with KAM Snaps October 27 2015

Last year I made a set of Snow Queen Inspired Costumes for my littlest girls.  My preschool aged daughter is obsessed with Frozen and Elsa as all girls her age.  She told me the other day, "Mama, Elsa and I are good friends because we both LOVE tutus."  :)  She, of course, insisted that she needed a Elsa dress for Halloween and her little sister an Anna dress but I, in my wisdom, decided if I had to make 2 dresses they would be full size and mini me sized version of the same dress with KAM Snaps.  I think they turned out great and I made them just big enough that they work this year too.  Yay, me :)!

Supplies:

• 1 Yard of Snow Queen Snowflake Organza
• 1 Yard of White Fabric
• 1 Yard of Tulle (White)
• 4 Sheets of Felt (White)
• Silver Sequined Ribbon
• Teal thread
• 4 KAM Snap Sets
• KAM Snap Pliers and Awl
• Serger Sewing Machine
• Standard Sewing Machine
• Long Sleeve T-Shirt (we went with White)
