Dear Jess,
A year ago, while I was in my third trimester, I had an idea. A Halloween costume idea to be specific. My eldest was a dragon for his first Halloween and I knew I was most likely going to reuse it for the baby in my belly. We have a giant direwolf-sized husky for a furbaby. My brother-in-law has an all white husky too. Ding! Lightbulb goes off, and I knew I was going to be making a Jon Snow costume for my 3 year old.
I loved how it turned out and wanted to share my process with any other Game of Thrones fans out there.
The Materials
The main parts of the costume I knew I needed to create a believable mini Jon Snow was:
Black fur cloak
- 1.5 yards of black felt – $4
- 1/3 yard of black “grizzly” fuax fur – $5
- Magnetic purse buckle – $7
- Black thread and needle
Longclaw the sword
- Plastic sword from the dollar store -$1
- National Geographic arctic fox Happy Meal plush
- Black felt
- Pattern for the sword holster
- Hot glue gun
House Stark symbol
- Body armor from dollar store – $1
- Silver marker – $6
- Black construction paper
- Spray glue adhesive
- House Stark stencil
