This cosplay took me around 2 and a half months to complete. I had never made armor or any type of prop before so I was starting only with the cosplay research I had done online. I spent most of my time studying the model and splash art of the character to get a good idea of how to make the costume and what I wanted to twist to make it my own. I chose faux suede/velvet to be rich fabrics that would be a warm-looking material, as it is a winter skin. The clothing was all patterned out by trial and error. All of the armor is made of craft foam and the gems are made of hot glue (poured like resin). The snowflake's main structure is foam-core posterboard with a paper mache overlay to give it the intricate shape.
