- Fit the trash bag onto a person to mark the armholes and the bottom width. Cut these openings, then make small slits along the side seams to thread the tie-string through.
- Design your ICE graphics digitally. Use the craft-cutter to slice blue vinyl letters and white vinyl snow-caps and snowflakes, or print the designs on paper as an alternative.
- Set up the cutting machine with the roll-feeder. Run a test-cut to ensure the settings are correct before proceeding.
- Cut the vinyl pieces using the machine.
- Peel the vinyl pieces by hand and stick the ICE letters, snow-caps, and snowflakes onto the clear trash bags.
- Bundle 8-10 clear trash bags together and place them inside the main outer bag to create the faux ice effect. Cinch the bottom tightly.
- Cut vinyl text for signs and attach them to paint-stirrers. Apply vinyl text to the onesie to complete the costume accessories.
