Mumsnet Talk

dd is going to have the big part in the school christmas play, she is being the snow queen, so what am I begging for.......well I ned to get some white furry fabric, it needs to be draped over the back of her wheelchair(yes I am using the sn as well) and I want to cover her boots as well(but could use something else for that. so has any one got a white furry cape that they could lend me????????????????????????????????????

Sorry cant help you hope that other mumsnetter can

Can't help, but bumping for you

Nope sorry, why not use a table cloth and try and find a white fluffy shrug instead? I'm sure that would be much easier

Try posting a wanted ad on your local freecycle. It's the kind of daft thing someone will have in their attic...

No I haven't. Sorry! Someone will have though so keep on bumping...let your body rock....everybody bumping....da di da di da..

<<wanders off humming>>

Not direct help (sorry) but I did pick up a white fleece throw at tesco for £2 the other week, dunno if your local may have some?

I have a pink fluffy coat if nothing better comes along.

It's a bump if nothing else

Boots should be easy to make BTW, if she has some cheap shoes you can just cut the fabric and use pins to hold in place pushed into the sole or double sided sticky tape. My sis used this trick at halloween one year.

Try Ikea too, if you can bear too.....

How about a large white sheet with a ton of silver glitter thrown at it?

wow white fl;eece throw, what a good idea
thank you everyone

I do have an old white adult fairy outfit with white fluffy trim (don't ask ) if you think you could fashion something from that id be happy to post.

thanks, I am going to sainsburys tomorrow so will have alook for a fleece there, then I can cut it up.
if I don't have any luk over the next few days i will get back to you.

(isn't mn good for getting you to think out of the box)

Poundland have bags of fake snow, have you an old pair of wellies you can glue and throw the snow at? or pull white socks over her boots if that's not an option cause of her SN and then glue fake snow to socks? or even just the white socks would work actually

I think I have a couple of metres of white furry fabric, but it's at my parents house.

If not, i can find the website i ordered it from, was really cheap!

bump this tomorrow, I'll have a look when I'm at werk.

i have a life size tiger if any use

won at the christmas fair last year

omg white socks over her boots brilliant idea
fake snow would be a bit dodgey same with glitter, gets all over her

Primark and markets and cheapo places usually do fluffy bedsocks, if you could get white ones of those they would look just the ticket

i am going to primark on monday

Bump for the Snow Queen

this but it is a bit small and a bit £9! On plus side it is buy it now.

Alternatively blimey

I could probably get hold of white fur fabric if you still needed it.

If you have a fabric shop locally, have a look in the remnants bin first, then at the fleece section. (Our local even has *camouflage fleece* How cool is that?)

Or what about a cheapie white towel?

have seen the fleece throws in tesco and asda - never seen them in sainsbury's
