I would start with a white pillowcase - no idea what i would do next though!

Um... white tights or trousers, white top. Get some cardboard and paint it black for buttons. Borrow a top hat or make one out of cardboard. make a cone shape for a nose, paint it orange and use some elastic to hold it on round the head?

Perhaps get a huge roll of cotton wool, and wind it round and round in a "mummy" fashion! Or stick sheets of it onto yurts pillowcase, and cut arms and head hole to fit on... Don't forget the bobble hat and scarf!

A 'daddy size' plain white T shirt, felt big black buttons stuck on, white face paint, woolly scarf & hat ? I'm sure I've seen an outfit in a shop recently - Woolies perhaps??

You can ususlly buy cheap fur type fabric from markets. I made a snowman suit for myself some years ago. Cut out fabric after taking shape from an old t-shirt and lengthened it. Used card covered in black fur fabric for a hat, and stuck three black circles down front for buttons and made a cardboard cone for a carrot nose. Stitched it all together and it was great. Even though fur - it's not hot or anything and you could base shape on one of littleone's t-shirts. Might be able to do whole thing from a metre or so of fabric.

Cardboard sandwich board covered in fur or cotton wool balls. Paint the face white with orange nose. Scarf and white trainers. Wear white clothes underneath if you can.
