Star (headwear)
Cut four star patterns from yellow fleece for double-layered lining. Cut two star patterns from metallic fabric for a top layer. Hotglue each two fleece layers together around edges. Hotglue the metallic fabric stars to fleece stars around edges. With linings together, hotglue the completed stars front to back around three upper tips, leaving bottom open for neck. Cut face opening on front only. Stuff the three upper tips with fiberfill. Hotglue gold ribbons or long Christmas icicles under lower edge.

Long robe
Hotglue or stitch sides and underarms.

Safety tip
For a small child, cut the robe short enough to prevent tripping.

Treat bag
Adjust the size as desired. Cut one pattern piece from metallic fabric and one from fleece, and treat the layers as one. Stitch or hotglue side seam closed. On right side, stitch or hotglue the top edges of fabric and lining together, press under, and fuse or hotglue in place. On inside, gather and knot the bottom tightly closed with a piece of elastic. Turn right side out. Cut small holes around upper edge and weave a cord through the holes for a drawstring.
