    Sep 14, 2011 - Snow/Frosting Effect for Costume? #1

    Anybody have any ideas as to how to add a Snow/Frosting type appearance to costumes?
    Say for example you want to give the appearance of having just walked in from a blizzard.

    These aren't the best pics, but when me and a buddy did the Nazi zombies from "Dead Snow", we had to make it look like we risen from the snow. I lightly dusted the areas with white spray paint and 'flicked' white paint from a toothbrush to give specks. I then brushed on fabric glue and threw decorative white sand at the glue areas and knocked off what didn't stick. For built up area (shoulders and helmet) I glued bits of cotton balls down, then did the same thing with the sand. I'll see if I have any better pics when I get home this evening.

    Trying to remember where I saw it, but if I am not mistaken, you can use melted/dripped candle wax on fur, hair or wool to make for a frozen look.

    Here are a few more pics that might help. After looking at it up close again, I realize I left out a step. I also crushed up a bag of clear plastic beads and mixed those in for a kind of icy effect. ** Disregard the brown stain. I think that was Jager.

    that spray on snow stuff that you can find around Christmas time to spray on your windows to make it look like snow is piled up in the corners works well.
