Bonus Craft Tutorial: Fall Fairy Costume

There is something magical about fall.  I had to make these fall fairy costumes for my girls.  I had fun taking pictures of my fall fairies.  This costume is easy, beautiful and wonderful for pictures.  You can read a little more about the photo shoot here.  Get the instruction on how to make the costume below.

T-shirt

For the fairy costume I took plain t-shirts and ironed on a cute design that is based on my Welcome Fall Collection.  You can grab that free iron on here.

Skirts

I made the tulle skirts the easy way – just tie to a ribbon.  Tip: sew ribbon end to elastic to make the skirt more comfortable to wear.

Wings

The wings I got bought for a whopping buck at the dollar store!

Hair

For my little girls hair I glued some fake leaves together and added a clip to the bottom.  For my other little girls hair I used a simple fall piece that is designed to a be a candle wrap as a crown.

Wands:

For the fairy wands I had a lot of fun. Here’s how I made them:

You will need

tulle,

ribbon

wooden dowel

small pumpkin

paint

glue gun

drill

Step1

Paint the dowel to make it the color you want

Step 2

Drill a hole the bottom of the pumpkin large enough for the dowel (because the pumpkin was on the heavy side I made sure it was at least half way into the pumpkin).

Step 3

For some sparkle I glued some branches around the pumpkin

Step 4

I added tulle and ribbon around the base

Step 5

Add leaves to finish off the wand!
