Heatmiser & Snowmiser

Heatmiser and Snowmiser are characters from the movie “The Year Without a Santa Claus” from 1974. They’ve got a great look a catchy song:

Kevin sewed the costumes from scratch and carved the “hair”; Dop did the makeup.

  1. These costumes are AMAZING! Anyway you could send me a “how to” and “where to shop” to piece-meal these together for a coworker and myself next Halloween?

  2. Those costumes are awesome! My wife and I are going to make some for Halloween this year. Any tips on where to get the various parts? Like where did the silk looking shirts come from?

    • Thanks Mike! I got the fabric from Joann and sewed the costumes. The shirts and pants are a stretchy glittery/shiny material. Heatmiser’s collar, cuffs, etc. is felt. I used two different colors of fleece to make the scarf. Good luck!!

    • Sorry for the delay! Yes, it’s foam (XPS wall insulation foam like “Foamular” at Home Depot). I carve it, then wood putty and sand (multiple times). I then coated it in glossy mod podge with glitter.
