Olaf costume?

[katfco]

Has anyone come across a pattern for an Olaf costume? I really want to make the kids an Elsa and Olaf costume this year. I saw that McCall's has an Elsa/Anna pattern, but I can't find an Olaf pattern anywhere. I'm going to start gathering materials as they go on sale at Joann's, and I'd rather not guess how much material I need.

Thanks, that hat is cute! I was hoping to come up with a more 3-D version of the body, but now I have some more ideas.

PB ate the rest of my post :/. The other thing I have seen is made of bath towels.

Clearly I am not a good seamstress.

I was looking for existing patterns you could alter. I think for a 2 year old you could make this one and add a second bump at the top without too much effort.

For instance, the duck pattern could be gathered at the natural waist. the sticks for arms could be attached to a long sleeve tshirt. And then maybe a baseball cap for the face?

I keep finding stuff.

from a hoodie, it looks like: www.etsy.com/listing/186994750/olaf-toddler-costume-hoodie-child-frozen

Thanks! After looking at those ideas, I think I'm going to use a T-shirt and sweatpants as a base and then attach felt "bulbs" to it (similar to the little duck costume) and stuff it with batting.

Oh my goodness that hat is too cute!

I am not actually being helpful but I'm sure you can pull this off OP!

Thanks! I'll try to take pictures of my progress. I'm going out tomorrow to buy the felt. I figure, if I'm going to do both Olaf and Elsa, I should get started soon.
