Have a lot of time on your hands? Why not transform your family into Von Traps, or better yet, into [fantasy characters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drnjns-dragan) from 'The Chronicles of Narnia?'

This family has taken the time to make [full-regalia outfits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fullfamily-easter-collection) to resemble the four Pevensie children from Narnia (Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy).

Gauntlets and chain mail attire can be seen with a girl dressed as a princess in the gallery above.

All I can say is:wow.

**Implications** - Consumers enjoy [crafting their own products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/storyland-illustrated-personalized-ebook) because they feel the effort required in creating their own items adds intrinsic value that store-bought goods do not provide. Corporations may consider offering consumers building kits for products rather than fully assembled items in order to satiate consumer desire to craft.
